HC Deb 02 March 1931 vol 249 cc18-9
27. Captain GAZALET

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give the House any information in regard to the recent attempt on the life of King Zog of Albania; and whether he has received any communication from His Majesty's representative at Tirano as to the effect the event has had upon the conditions in Albania?

Mr. DALTON

My right hon. Friend has nothing to add to the full description of the circumstances attending the attempted murder of King Zog on the 20th of February, which has already been published in the Press. As regards possible effects in Albania, my right hon. Friend has not yet received a report from His Majesty's Minister at Durazzo, but I will, if the hon. and gallant Member so desires, communicate to him the substance of any report which may be received.

Captain CAZALET

Are conditions in that country normal now?

Mr. DALTON

We have had no report to the contrary.
