Colonel GRETTON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if His Majesty's Government have made further representations to the Government of the Free State in regard to the murder and outrage perpetrated upon British officers and men at Queenstown in May, 1924; and has he any information as to what steps the Government of the Free State are taking to secure the arrest and trial of the persons who perpetrated the murder and outrages?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

Inquiries have been instituted from time to time, and His Majesty's Government are satisfied that every effort has been made by the Government of the Irish Free State, both by the offer of a large reward and by the usual police methods, to trace the perpetrators of this outrage.
