HC Deb 22 May 1922 vol 154 c807
34. Lord R. CECIL

asked the Prime Minister whether he has any official information that Greek bands are threatening the southern boundary of Albania?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

Complaints, showing that the Albanian Government are apprehensive of the action of Greek bands in these regions, have been received, and steps are being taken by the Boundary Commission to investigate these complaints.

Lord R. CECIL

Will the Government find it possible to make any representations in Athens on this subject, pointing out how serious it would be if the Greeks were to infringe the integrity of Albania?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I think the matter had better be left, in the first instance, to the Boundary Commission before we proceed to take any steps.
