HC Deb 09 March 1916 vol 80 c1710
62. Mr. NOEL BUXTON

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether any despatches were received from the head of the British naval mission to Serbia since the beginning of the late offensive there; and, if so, whether it is intended to publish the same in the near future?

Dr. MACNAMARA

Reports were received from the head of the Mission both before and since the enemy offensive in Serbia. It is not proposed to publish them; nor would it be appropriate to call for a formal despatch with a view to publication, since the Mission, however gallant its conduct, was almost insignificant in numbers, and its proceedings were merely incidental to the general operations of the Serbian Army.
