§ MR. SUTHERLANDI beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to the recent attack on students of the Scots College, Rome, whereby two of them were dangerously wounded, one being disfigured for life; and whether, for the future protection of the students and in the interest of the numerous British subjects who visit Rome, he has made, or will make, representations to the Italian Government with a view to the culprits being brought to justice without delay.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYI have received a report on this matter from His Majesty's Ambassador at Rome, who has already requested the Italian Government to take 55 the necessary steps to secure the punishment of the culprits. I am instructing Sir E. Egerton to watch the case carefully and to report to me if there is any unnecessary delay in the proceedings.
