HC Deb 04 June 1913 vol 53 cc872-3
16. Mr. NOEL BUXTON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the need of relief for the destitute refugees in Macedonia, Thrace, and Albania is still urgent; and whether the conditions recently stated in the House of Commons as necessary to ensure participation in the work of relief by His Majesty's Government have been realised?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Acland)

I understand that the answer to the first part of the hon. Member's question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part of the question, the conditions referred to which would necessitate consideration by His Majesty's Government, have only been realised in so far as peace has been signed between the belligerents.
