§ BARON HENRY DE WORMSasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether, since the Government decline to call on Her Majesty's Consuls by despatch to report specially on each Jewish outrage mentioned in any journal, he would state the reason why a different course should be followed in this respect than that urged upon the late Government by members of the present Government, in the case of the Bulgarian outrages; and, whether Her Majesty's Government will instruct Her Majesty's Consul at Moscow to inquire into and report on the outrages stated by the Moscow correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" to have been committed in that city during the present month?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEI have nothing to add to what the Prime Minister said on this subject in the debate lately raised by the hon. Member. As regards the second part of his Question, I have nothing to add to what I said on Thursday last.
§ BARON HENRY DE WORMSMay I ask the hon. Gentleman, whether it is the intention of the Government not to instruct Her Majesty's Consuls to inquire and report upon the alleged outrages?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEI must repeat what I said last Thursday—namely, that it is not thought desirable to call on the Consuls to report with regard to each statement that appears in a newspaper; but that they are in the habit of making Reports without being instructed.
§ BARON HENRY DE WORMSWill they report?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEI can only say that Reports from Consuls have been laid before the House up to a month ago. Should any further Reports be received on the question, they will be laid on the Table in due course.
