§ MR. BROADHURST (Nottingham W.)I wish to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to the fact that the Court Martial appointed by the Roumanian Government has acquitted the soldiers who were accused of mur- 511 dering the Marine, Page, of H.M.S. Cocatrice; and whether the Government propose to take any further steps in the matter?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir J. FERGUSSON,) Manchester, N.E.The answer to the first part of the question is, yes: but only one has been brought to trial. With regard to the latter part of the question, Her Majesty's Government are awaiting a full Report of the proceedings of the Court Martial. On its receipt, they will consider whether any further steps should be taken.
