§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That this House do now adjourn."ߞ[Mr. Gulland.]
Sir MARK SYKESI beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs a question of which I have given him private notice, namely, whether the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has received any information regarding the situation at Constantinople supervening upon the assassination of the Grand Vizier?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Acland)I am quite willing to give the House what information we have. We received a telegram from Constantinople at seven o'clock this evening, which I will paraphrase for the House.
While driving in his motor car this morning the Grand Vizier was attacked by several unknown individuals, who shot at him. He and one of his aides-de-camp were killed. The motives of the assailants were unknown. Precautions are being taken by the military and police.That is all we have heard.
