HC Deb 14 March 1887 vol 312 c196
MR. PULESTON (Devonport)

I wish to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the Government can give any information as to the reported attempt to assassinate the Czar of Russia?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N.E.)

Sir, Her Majesty's Government have, with deep regret, received information that some persons were arrested with explosives upon them on the read by which the Emperor of Russia was expected to go to the anniversary service for the late Emperor; but I am glad to say that it does not appear that any attack was made upon His Majesty.
