Macedonian Budget—Charges for Turkish Troops

HC Deb 26 March 1907 vol 171 cc1639-40

MR. LYNCH

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will ascertain from the British financial delegate on the Macedonian Reform Commission the number of Turkish troops charged to the Macedonian Budget during 1906; and whether any extra expenditure in connection with the contemplated reorganisation of the 3rd Army Corpsat Salonica will be chargeable to that Budget.

SIR EDWARD GREY

The Financial Commission have no knowledge of the details of the military Budget, and could not supply the information desired by the hon. Member. For the latter part of the Question, I must refer the hon. Member to the Answer returned to his Question on the 20th instant.†

MR. LYNCH

That Answer was no reply to my Question as to the number of troops chargeable.

SIR EDWARD GREY

I have not the figures by me.
