§ 77. Viscount CURZONasked the Prime Minister whether any statement can now be made as to the future of Montenegro; by whom it is now occupied and governed; whether an attack upon this country by Gabriel D'Annunzio and his force is likely; and, if so, whether steps have been taken to prevent it?
§ THE PRIME MINISTERI am unable to make any statement at present with regard to the first part of the question. As has been often explained, this subject is in the hands of the Supreme Council in Paris, who have not yet reached a decision. The country is administered by a Governor, appointed by the Government of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, who is believed to be of Montenegrin birth. The reply to the third part of the question is in the negative, and the fourth part does not therefore arise.
