To ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the representative of the British Embassy at Constantinople now at Uskub will be enabled to attend the sittings of the Turkish Commission for the purpose of inquiring into the outrages committed in the villayet of Kossovo, and to examine witnesses independently, with such assistance as he may himself choose?

Mr. Eliot, the Member of the British Embassy at Constantinople, who was sent expressly to Uskub, has been watching the proceedings of the Commission, and has been in communication with its members, with a view to reporting to Her Majesty's Government, although I am not aware of his having personally taken part in the proceedings.
