§ 47. Sir J. D. REESasked whether the policy of Great Britain in respect of the war in the Balkans is still one of strict neutrality, or whether her policy is to promote as far as she can the permanent happiness of the Bulgarian and Hellenic peoples?
§ Sir E. GREYThe policy with regard to the war continues to be one of strict neutrality. The war will, I trust, not last for ever, and we shall be very glad if it is then in our power to promote the permanent happiness of the Bulgarians and Hellenic peoples, but this will not be exclusive of a desire to promote the happiness of other States also.
§ Sir J. D. REESHave the Government seen the speech of the First Lord of the Admiralty which exhibited a complete indifference to the happiness of the Turks? May I ask if words to that effect were not used?
§ Mr. SPEAKERThe hon. Member must give notice. The right hon. Gentleman cannot carry all the speeches of all his colleagues in his head.
