HC Deb 23 March 1885 vol 296 c233
MR. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether there is information of any disturbance at Penjdeh; and, whether Her Majesty's Government have any information that the Russian officers have been exciting disturbances at Penjdeh; and, whether it is true, as reported in The Daily News, that Her Majesty's Government are prepared to assent to the Russian occupation of Penjdeh?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

No such information as that referred to in the first part of the hon. Member's Question has reached Her Majesty's Government. In regard to the further Question, of which the hon. Member gave me private Notice just before the House met, I think I must, as usual, ask him for Notice.
