§ 4. Mr. WALTER GUINNESSasked 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. GREYI 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.
