§ SIR WILLIAM HARCOURTasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Her Majesty's Government have any cognizance of an alleged Protocol vouched by the "Daily Telegraph" of April 19, as having been offered on behalf of the Porte to the Government of Russia; and, whether he has any reason to believe that any such proposal was actually made by or on behalf of the Porte?
§ MR. BOURKEIn reply to the hon. and learned Member for Oxford, I am afraid I can only state that we know nothing whatever of the despatch and of the report alluded to in the Question.
