§ Mr. NOEL BUXTONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he could give any particulars as to measures taken by the Peruvian Government to secure and punish the criminals concerned in the murders of Indians on the rubber plantations of the Putumayo; whether that Government is in a position to establish effective administration in the territory; and whether His Majesty's Government will now publish Sir Roger Casement's report?
§ The SECRETARY Of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir E. Grey)I am still in communication with the Peruvian Government with regard to the two first questions. I am not yet in a position to give a definite reply to the last part of the question, but my hon. Friend may rest assured that the matter is receiving close attention.
§ Mr. NOEL BUXTONMay I ask whether the reason for non-publication now depends upon the wishes of any foreign State?
§ Sir E. GREYI must ask my hon. Friend to give notice of that question.
§ Sir E. GREYI must ask for notice of any further questions.
