§ MR. H. SAMUELSONasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, What progress has been made towards securing the rectification of the Greco-Turkish frontier under the Berlin Treaty; and what is the attitude of Her Majesty's Government in regard to that question?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEPapers were laid on the Table yesterday, and will be distributed immediately, showing the point which the negotiations on this subject had reached when the late Government left Office. The direct negotiations between the Turkish and Greek Governments having led to no result, the Powers agreed in March last, on the proposal of Lord Salisbury, that an International Commission should be appointed to examine the Frontier on the spot, whose decision should be by a majority and should be conclusive. This Commission has not been appointed owing to difficulties raised by the Porte; but Her Majesty's Government have invited the concert of the Powers to bring the whole question to an early solution.
