HC Deb 10 April 1913 vol 51 c1329
4. Mr. WALTER GUINNESS

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received any information as to the alleged imprisonment, without trial, and ill-treatment of political offenders in Portugal?

Sir E. GREY

I have received some information. The question is one which concerns the internal administration of Portugal, and beyond stating that abuses must have a very unfavourable effect upon public opinion and sympathies there is little that any other Government can do unless its own subjects are concerned.
