HC Deb 10 December 1906 vol 166 cc1559-60
MR. W. D. WARD (Southampton)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information relating to the murder of a Vlach in the streets of Salonica and the murder of four Vlach peasants by a Greek band near Karaferia; and whether he will consider the advisability of making further proposals to the Powers directed to the prevention of such outrages in Macedonia.

MR. RUNCIMAN

His Majesty's Government have no information relating to the murder of a Vlach in the streets of Salonica, but have heard of an attack by a Greek band on four Vlachs on the road between Doleni and Kovardjik. As regards the last part of the Question, His Majesty's Government have constantly under consideration the possibilities of mitigating the disorders in Macedonia, and will continue to do all they can in concert with other Powers to improve the state of affairs.
