HC Deb 02 April 1908 vol 187 cc670-1
MR. WEDGWOOD

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has obtained any report from any of our Consuls in Austro-Hungary as to the riots and massacre at Csernova, or as to the trials of and sentences passeu on the Slovak rioters; and, if so, whether he will lay them before this House.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir EDWARD GREY,) Northumberland, Berwick

The incident referred to has been fully reported in the Press, and the despatches on the subject which have been received from His Majesty's representatives at Vienna and Budapest do not add anything material to the information so published.

MR. WEDGWOOD

In view of the friendly relations that obtain between this country and the Magyar Government, could not the right hon. Gentleman call for some official report from the Magyar Government on this subject?

SIR EDWARD GREY

To call for official documents respecting internal affairs of another country is not calculated to conduce to friendly relations.
