HC Deb 25 June 1924 vol 175 cc406-7
5. Mr. MOREL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the attention of His Majesty's Government has been drawn to the further reports of the continued reign of terror in Montenegro; when the promised British consular appointment at Cettinje will be made; and whether, in connection with this appointment, His Majesty's Government have considered selecting His Majesty's former Minister to Montenegro, Count de Salis, for the post?

Mr. PONSONBY

We have received no reports of late from any source which can be considered reliable. I can assure the hon. Member that the appointment of a Vice-Consul at Cettinje may be expected very shortly. The answer to the last part of the question is in the negative.

Mr. MACPHERSON

Can the hon. Gentleman say whether it is the intention of the Government to place the whole question of the Montenegrin problem before the League of Nations?

Mr. PONSONBY

I should require notice of that question.

Forward to
