HC Deb 20 May 1878 vol 240 c255
MR. EVELYN ASHLEY

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether Her Majesty's Government will use their good offices to secure an armistice between the Turkish forces and the insurgents in Crete, in view of the fact that otherwise the forces liberated by the armistice just concluded in Thessaly, owing to the efforts of the British Government, will be employed to crush the Cretans?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHE-QUER

Yes, Sir; Her Majesty's Government have been, and are now, using their good offices for that object.
