HC Deb 18 December 1916 vol 88 c1102
9. Mr. GINNELL

asked whether the Allied Forces went in the first instance to Salonika on the invitation of the Greek Government; if so, by what official representing the Greek Government the invitation was conveyed; on what date and in what precise terms; and whether M. Venizelos has denied that he, when Prime Minister, gave that invitation?

Lord R. CECIL

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I returned to a similar question from the hon. Member for West Clare on 8th November last. I have nothing to add thereto.

Mr. GINNELL

The Noble Lord has not stated by what official the invitation was given, at what date or its terms. Will he inform the House on these points?

Lord R. CECIL

I am afraid I can add nothing to my previous reply.

Mr. LYNCH

Was not the reply to my question equally ambiguous with that given to-day?
