§ The following Question appeared on the Order Paper:—
§ 69 Mr. RONALD McNEILLTo ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any official information as to the circumstances in which M. Dojitch, formerly President of the Montenegrin Parliament, was recently assassinated at Podgoritza, the Serbian headquarters in Montenegro; whether he is aware that M. Dojitch is known to have had conversation with Count de Salis while the latter was in Montenegro; and whether he has any information to the effect that the murder was not unconnected with the conferences between M. Dojitch and the representative of the British Government.
§ Mr. McNEILLOn a point of Order. May I state that this question appears in a different form from that of which I gave notice. The effect of the change is to make it appear as if the suggestion in the last part of the question came from me, which is not the fact. With that explanation I beg to ask Question No. 69.
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Cecil Harmsworth)The answer to all parts of the question is in the negative.
§ 70. Mr. McNEILLasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the French Government, in communicating to the Serbians the contents of Count de Salis's report on Montenegro, did so at the request or after consultation with His Majesty's Government?
§ Mr. HARMSWORTHI have no information as to the action of the French Government referred to by my hon. and learned Friend.
