HC Deb 23 February 1886 vol 302 c1032
MR. BERNARD COLERIDGE

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether, seeing that Her Majesty's Government have thought fit to carry on Lord Salisbury's policy of using the British Fleet as a menace to Greece, Her Majesty's Government have taken, or are prepared to take, any steps to satisfy the claims of Greece to an enlargement of her territory?

THE UNDER SECRETARY (Mr. BRYCE)

No, Sir; Her Majesty's Government are not of opinion that this would be a favourable moment to approach the Sultan with a view to obtaining from him a concession of territory to Greece.
