§ MR. DILLONI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any negotiations are now in progress with a view to the appointment of a Christian governor of Crete?
MR. CURZONThe Provisional Government of which I have previously spoken is being set up in Crete because of the difficulty experienced in selecting a governor acceptable to all concerned. The appointment of such an officer is therefore temporarily postponed. The Admirals will continue their functions until they can safely be replaced.
