HC Deb 03 August 1911 vol 29 c558
Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is able to communicate to the House any further intelligence received from His Majesty's Minister at Cettinje, or from other sources, respecting the condition of the Albanian shepherds and their families now penned within the marshes south of Scutari; whether he is aware that the report that the sufferers had received permission to return to their homes in the mountains is not borne out by the testimony of the Austro-Hungarian Chargé d'Affaires at Cettinje in his report to the Vienna Foreign Office; and whether His Majesty's Government have received any information as to the arrival in Montenegro and at San Giovanni di Medua of Red Cross League representatives commissioned by branches in Europe to distribute food and clothing and medical aid to the women and children who have been driven from their homes by the Turkish troops?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir Edward Grey)
