§ 25. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has information about the political situation in 1015 Greece; whether he has information of any attempt to set up a republican regime in place of the monarchy; what information he has about the part being played by M. Venizelos, General Pangalos and Admiral Hadjikiriakis in the republican movement; and whether His Majesty's Government is exercising any pressure for or against this republican movement?
§ Mr. McNEILLReports of the nature indicated have from time to time reached His Majesty's Government, but I am not in a position to give any authoritative information, or to express any opinion, as to the attitude of individual Greek statesmen in matters of Greek internal politics.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYMay I have an answer to the last part of the question?
§ Mr. McNEILLYes. His Majesty's Government is exercising no pressure, one way or the other.
§ Mr. HARRISHow does the hon. Gentleman explain the fact that the Foreign Office has had no information as to what is going on in Greece? We have repeatedly asked for information, and have never been able to get it.
