HC Deb 02 July 1906 vol 159 cc1432-3
SIR W. EVANS GORDON (Tower Hamlets, Stepney)

I beg to ask the Prime Minister whether his attention has been drawn to the fact that both Houses of the United States Congress have passed a Resolution expressing the horror of the people at the massacre of Hebrews in Russia; and whether His Majesty's Government propose to give ail opportunity to this House of recording its opinion on this subject.

SIR H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

The recent events in Russia, to which the hon. Member calls attention, have, as he is aware, aroused the strongest feeling in this House and throughout the country. I am not at all sure that the adoption of the unusual course suggested by the hon. Member of giving formal expression to those sentiments would serve any useful purpose, or that it might not even add to the difficulties in Russia itself.
