HC Deb 03 May 1897 vol 48 cc1416-7
MR. EDWARD MORTON (Devonport)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government have received any suggestion from the German Government for the punishment of Greece, or the forcing of Crete back into subjection to the Turkish Government; if so, whether he will lay the Dispatch referring to these proposals upon the Table of the House forthwith; and whether Her Majesty's Government will pledge themselves to take steps to frustrate the carrying out of any such proposals?

MR. CURZON

No such suggestion has been received, and there is no necessity for Her Majesty's Government to pledge themselves to frustrate a, proposal which no one is likely to make, and which the hon. Member must excuse me for saying it is ridiculous to suggest. [Laughter.]
