§ Mr. BAIRDI beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs a question of which I have given him private notice, namely: Whether there is any truth in the report in the newspapers to-day that His Majesty's Vice-Consul at Monastir has been beaten by the authorities of the province?
§ Sir E. GREYThe notice of the hon. Member, owing to an oversight, has only reached me at this moment. The answer is that I have received no information confirming the report.
