§ MR. FLYNNI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the withdrawal of the Austrian troops from Crete, and the greater part of the squadron from Cretan waters, now officially communicated to the House, the guarantee Powers will undertake to adopt coercive measures so as to secure the early appointment of a Christian governor entrusted with full powers in the island?
MR. CURZONSuch an undertaking has not been proposed by any Government, and is not one which Her Majesty's Government are disposed to enter into.
§ SIR E. ASHMEAD-BARTLETTCan my right hon. Friend answer without notice whether it is the fact, as stated, that the Porte has proposed the appointment of Karatheodori Pasha as Governor General of Crete?
