§ MR. G. GOOCH (Bath)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the failure of the Chief Commissary of Police at Salonika to maintain security in that city and to punish criminals, he will instruct the British Ambassador at Constantinople to urge his dismissal.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYThe state of insecurity which has recently prevailed at Salonika has not escaped the notice of His Majesty's Minister at Constantinople, who has drawn the attention of the Grand Vizier to the matter, ant pointed out that the present Director of the Police is apparently not competent to discharge the duties efficiently.
§ MR. REESAre the British Government in any way responsible for the management of the city of Salonika?
§ SIR EDWARD GREYIt is very desirable that order should be maintained there.
