§ 15. Sir E. CORNWALLasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give the House any information as to the condition of affairs in Serbia and as to the composition of the Army of occupation?
§ Lord R. CECILIt would not be desirable, as I am sure my hon. Friend will see, to discuss in public the subject raised by the latter part of the question. With regard to the condition of things in Serbia, the information which reaches us is to some extent conflicting, but unfortunately there seems little doubt that in parts of the country, at any rate, the distress from want of food is very serious and reflects grave discredit on the occupying Powers.
