§ MR. OTWAYasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, What decision has been taken by the Powers, parties to the Treaty of Berlin, as to the Military occupation of Eastern Roumelia; whether France and Germany have declined to take part in such occupation; and, if he is able to assure the House that, during the short adjournment for Easter, no steps will be taken by Her Majesty's Government which would necessitate the employment of British Troops in that country?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERI gave an answer on that subject two or three days ago, and I am afraid I cannot add anything to what I then said. The communications which were then going on are still going on; and as nothing has been settled on this subject I do not think I could without inconvenience, and without prejudicing the probability of a satisfactory settlement, enter into a discussion of the subject now, or give any further information at the present time.
