I regret that I am not yet in a position to make a statement. The delay is due to the fact that the Italian Government have not yet replied to questions which His Majesty's Government have addressed to them on this subject. I cannot regard this delay as satisfactory, and the House may rest assured that His Majesty's Government will continue to press the matter urgently upon the attention of the Italian Government.
