HC Deb 19 July 1909 vol 8 c4
Mr. PIKE PEASE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if his proposal to hold an International Conference to deal with certain aspects of the Balkan problem had now been finally abandoned?

The UNDER-SECRETARY for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. T. McKinnon Wood)

The answer is in the negative; but the most critical questions of the Balkan problem have been adjusted amicably, and negotiations are still proceeding on one or two minor points connected with Article 29.

Lord BALCARRES

Do we understand the hon. Gentleman to say that a conference is likely to be held on this point?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I did not say that. I said it was not abandoned.
