HC Deb 11 February 1908 vol 183 c1534
MR. GOOCH (Bath)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to the speech of Baron Herenthal to the Hungarian Delegation to the effect that the employment of gendarmerie to hunt down the bands in Macedonia was impracticable; whether he has received favourable or unfavourable replies from the other Powers; and what steps he proposes to take to secure the acceptance of the proposals of His Majesty's Government.

SIR EDWARD GREY

My attention has been called to the speech in question; replies in this sense have been received from the Austrian and Russian Governments. As soon as the views of all the Powers are known, His Majesty's Government will consider what course they should adopt.

MR. LYNCH (Yorkshire, W. R., Ripon)

In what sense?

SIR EDWARD GREY

In the sense which is evidently familiar to the hon. Member who put the Question.
