HC Deb 28 July 1896 vol 43 c821
MR. J. C. FLYNN (Cork, N.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Foreign Office has yet received any official information as to the opening proceeding of the Convocation at Canea on the 13th instant; and, if not, what is the cause of the delay in respect to Dispatches concerning the meetings of this assembly?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. GEORGE CURZON,) Lancashire, Southport

As stated in the answer given to the hon. Member yesterday, no official Dispatches have as yet been received respecting proceedings at the opening of the Assembly at Canea on the 13th instant. Any delay may not improbably be accounted for by the great pressure of work entailed on Her Majesty's Consul by events in Crete.
