HC Deb 19 March 1897 vol 47 c1037
MR. JOHN DILLON (Mayo, E.)

I wish to ask the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs a Question of which I have not given him notice—namely, whether he can give the House any information as to the alleged sinking of a Greek vessel by an Austrian cruiser off the coast of Crete, and how that occurred, in view of the fact that the blockade does not commence until Sunday?

MR. CURZON

I really do not think that the hon. Gentleman ought to ask me this Question without any notice at all. I must ask him to be good enough to give me notice. ["Hear, hear!"]

MR. DILLON

I will put it on the Paper for Monday.

AN HON. MEMBER: The blockade will he on then.
