HC Deb 26 June 1916 vol 83 c557W
Mr. R. McNEILL

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has any official information of an attack on an employé of the British Legation at Athens on 12th June, in which secret police and police in uniform are reported to have taken part, and of insulting behaviour of the secret police towards members of the Legation, including the military attaché and the chief of the British naval mission, on the same day at the Stadium; and if he will state what action he has taken in the matter?

Sir E. GREY

Incidents of the nature referred to by the hon. Member have, I understand, taken place in Athens during the last few weeks, and serious representations were made to the Greek Government on the subject. That Government have now agreed to consult with the Allied representatives in Athens with a view to the removal of the police officers responsible for such incidents.
