HC Deb 30 March 1885 vol 296 c997
MR. J. LOWTHER

asked the noble Lord the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether it was intended to lay on the Table any Papers respecting the Turkish special mission to this country?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

said, he could not answer that Question without Notice.

MR. J. LOWTHER

Then, Sir, in that case I will give Notice that I will take an early opportunity of asking the Prime Minister whether it is the case that the Ottoman Ambassador Extraordinary, in reply to certain questions addressed to him by Lord Granville, stated that it would be difficult seriously to entertain a proposal which involved an appeal to "the one anti-human specimen of humanity" to co-operate in retarding "the saintly mission of the Divine Figure from the North?"
