§ 1. Lieutenant-Colonel W. GUINNESSasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information that the Serbs are now attacking the Albanians in Ipek and Djakova; whether this district, although inhabited by a large Albanian majority, was allotted to 1434 Montenegro in 1913 but never occupied by that country; whether the Serbs have been warned to desist from their attack; and whether the ultimate possession of this disputed territory will be reconsidered at the Paris Conference?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Cecil Harmsworth)Reports have reached His Majesty's Government of the serious situation in the district mentioned by the hon. and gallant Member. These reports are now engaging the attention of the Allied Governments and the Peace Delegates in Paris. I understand it to be the case that no attempt has hitherto been made to occupy the district. I do not think it would be in the public interest to say anything more for the present.
