§ Mr. LESLIE SCOTTI wish to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Greece and Turkey, or either of them, have bound themselves, or made any declaration, intimating that they accept the lists of contraband and free goods contained in the Declaration of London?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Acland)Neither Greece nor Turkey are signatories to the Declaration of London. A telegraphic summary from His Majesty's Minister at Athens of the articles declared by Greece to be contraband was published in Lloyd's List yesterday, and will appear also in the "London Gazette" to-day. His Majesty's Government have not received any information as yet as to what articles Turkey will declare contraband, but have telegraphed to inquire whether the notices issued at the commencement of the Turco-Italian war still hold good. On that occasion His Majesty's Government were given to understand that Turkey intended to observe the principles of the Declaration of London. I may add that all information received as to articles declared contraband is at once communicated to Lloyd's and to the "London Gazette."
