§ Mr. MORELasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether 765W he is aware that the Serbian authorities in Montenegro have persistently refused to restore the material confiscated by them in Montenegro from the Canadian White Cross in charge of Brigadier-General Burnham; whether any communications have passed between the Foreign Office and the Canadian Government on the subject; and what steps have been taken by His Majesty's Government to obtain satisfaction from the Serbian Government?
§ Mr. McNEILL:The difficulties which Colonel Burnham had encountered in obtaining an export licence for these stores were brought to the attention of the Foreign Office by the Colonial Office in April last. As a result of the representations then made by His Majesty's Minister in Belgrade the Serb-Croat-Slovene Government sanctioned the export of all the stores in question.
