HC Deb 05 May 1913 vol 52 c1703
Mr. BONAR LAW

Can the Prime Minister give the House any information about the position in the Near East?

The PRIME MINISTER

A communication has been received from the King of Montenegro to the effect that Montenegro puts the fate of the town of Scutari in the hands of the Great Powers. This is very satisfactory news, and is a decision on which the King of Montenegro is to be congratulated, both in the interests of his own country and of international peace.

Mr. T. M. HEALY

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he can hold out any hope that some compensation would be given to Montenegro in view of this action?
