HC Deb 09 April 1913 vol 51 cc1156-7
25. Mr. NEWMAN

asked whether large bodies of Austrian troops have been assembled for the purpose of manœuvres on the Dalmatian-Montenegrin frontier between Budna and Ugni; and, if so, whether, in view of the fact that Austrian military manœuvres are usually carried out in the early autumn, it is the intention of the European Powers, in view of the state of tension now existing, to request the Austrian military authorities to postpone the annual manœuvres of the troops in Dalmatia to a more opportune season?

Mr. ACLAND

I have no official information respecting the first part of the hon. Member's question. The answer to the second part is in the negative.
