§ Mr. MCNEILLasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware that the Serbian authorities in Montenegro have recently been organising a series of assemblies in that country designed to give an appearance of popular hostility to the sovereign and Government of Montenegro; whether these meetings have been attended by a Mr. Lester as a special delegate of the British Government; and, if so, in view of the fact that the king and royal Government of Montenegro are still recognised by the Allies as the constitutional authorities of Montenegro, why a delegate of His Majesty's Government attended the meetings referred to?
Mr. HARMSWORTHThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. I have no knowledge of the facts alleged in the second part of the question, or of the personality of Mr. Lester. The last part of the question, therefore, does not arise.
§ Mr. MCNEILLasked the Secretary of State for War whether he has any information in regard to the progress of the war in Montenegro; and whether the Montenegrins have recently achieved any success in their efforts to drive out the Serbian invaders of their country?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI think my hon. Friend's question should more properly be addressed to the Foreign Office, but, so far as my information goes, there is no war in progress in Montenegro.
