HC Deb 01 April 1913 vol 51 c185
5. Mr. KING

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether he has inquired of the Italian Ambassador or the Italian Government as to the propriety of the offer of a British warship to convey the Papal legate to Malta for the approaching Eucharistic Congress?

Sir E. GREY

The answer is in the negative. An act of courtesy to a distinguished visitor to Malta did not call for any such inquiry.
