HC Deb 13 May 1897 vol 49 c393
Mr. JOHN MORLEY (Montrose; Burghs)

I do not know whether the First Lord of the Treasury can give the House any information as to whether an armistice has been arrived at between Greece and Turkey?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

No, Sir. I am afraid that I have I no information to convey to the House. I did get private notice from the right hon. Gentleman a little after Five o'clock, but I know that he is very particular that an identic statement should be made in both Houses, and in order that that may be obtained I must have an opportunity of consulting the Foreign Secretary. On this occasion I have not had that opportunity. [Laughter and cheers.]

MR. J. MORLEY

I may say that I did not at all expect or ask the right hon. Gentleman to make an identic statement, but I should have been glad if he could have given any statement at all on a subject which is of great interest to the House and to the public. ["Hear, hear!"]
