HC Deb 29 July 1898 vol 63 c445
MR. DILLON

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the admirals in Cretan waters have suggested to their respective Governments the necessity of the withdrawal of the Turkish troops; and, if so, what action the British Government propose to take in pursuance of this suggestion?

MR. CURZON

The admirals have made the suggestion to their respective Governments, as stated. Her Majesty's Government have been in communication with the other Powers interested, but can make no announcement as to intended action.

MR. DILLON

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Government can communicate to the House the text of the scheme for the government of Crete, as modified by the admirals, and unanimously adopted by the Assembly?

MR. CURZON

I am looking into the matter, and hope to be able to give a favourable reply. I shall be glad if the honourable Member will repeat his Question on Tuesday.

MR. DILLON

I shall repeat this Question on Tuesday.
