HC Deb 10 May 1897 vol 49 c100
GENERAL MCCALMONT (Antrim, N.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has noticed a recent report of the bombardment of Santa Quaranta, a defenceless village on the Albanian coast, by Greek men-of-war, and whether he proposes to make anv inquiry into the matter?

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

Her Majesty's Consul at Corfu reported on the 24th of April that the Greek Squadron had destroyed Santa Quaranta. The matter is a regrettable incident of the war; and I fear that no useful purpose would be served by making inquiry with regard to it.
