HC Deb 20 May 1897 vol 49 cc926-7
MR. DILLON

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any information has reached him in reference to atrocities alleged to have been committed by the Turkish soldiery in Epirus?

*MR. CURZON

No such information has reached Her Majesty's Government. As I have previously stated it is not possible for Her Majesty's Government to have official information at first hand of incidents of the war, as they have no representative on the spot.

MR. DILLON

Are there no British Consuls in Epirus?

*MR. CURZON

Yes; but I do not think they have been at the scene of active operations.
