HC Deb 13 July 1909 vol 7 cc1831-2
Mr. GEORGE GOOCH

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he had any information as to the existence and activity of Greek bands in the neighbourhood of Monastir and elsewhere; and, if so, whether he will make representations to the Greek Government?

Sir E. GREY

The number of murders which Greeks are reported to have committed in Macedonia was five in March, two in April, and six in May. No report has been received of exceptional activity of Greek bands in the vilayet of Monastir during the last three months. The attention of the Greek Government has recently been called to the reported secret landing of three Greek bands on the Gulf of Salonica in April last, but they have denied the truth of this rumour.
