§ SIR E. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT (Sheffield, Ecclesall)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government will take the lead in proposing to the other Powers who are jointly responsible with England for the condition of Crete, the guarantee of a sum sufficient to enable the starving Mussulmans of Crete to be restored to their lands and houses?
§ MR. BRODRICKAS I stated on Tuesday, a proposal initiated by the High Commissioner of Crete for the purpose mentioned is already under the consideration of the Powers, and Her Majesty's Government have indicated their willingness to contribute, provided other Governments will assist equally.
