§ MR. SAMUEL SMITH (Flintshire)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can inform the House whether punishment has been inflicted on the authors of the massacre at Eghin last October, in which 1,500 unarmed Armenian Christians were cruelly put to death, as detailed in Blue-book, Turkey, No. 7, 1897?
MR. CURZONWe have not heard that any answer has been returned to the strong representation made by Her Majesty's Ambassador on the subject in December last, but inquiry will be made of Sir Philip Currie.
