HC Deb 25 October 1920 vol 133 cc1373-4W
Mr. A. HERBERT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether 35,000 Albanian refugees, whose homes have been destroyed by the Yugoslav troops, are in a destitute condition at Scutari; and if steps are being taken to relieve them?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

The numbers of Albanian refugees at Scutari appear to approximate to the numbers mentioned. His Majesty's Government will continue, as in the past, to urge on all the parties concerned in these disputes the urgent necessity for a peaceful settlement of the Albanian, as of the whole Adriatic question, but they do not feel justified in proposing any further direct intervention
