HC Deb 06 July 1897 vol 50 c1217
MR. JOHN DILLON (Mayo, E.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether a large body of Turkish troops have been conveyed to Candia on a British vessel?

MR. CURZON

We have heard that two companies of Turkish soldiers have been sent from Canea to Candia, to reinforce the outposts and to prevent Moslem raids; but we have no information as to how they were conveyed there.
