HC Deb 08 July 1889 vol 337 c1682
MR. BRYCE (Aberdeen, S.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is the fact that a Report upon the murders and other outrages recently perpetrated by the Kurds in the neighbourhood of Van, in Armenia, has been sent by Her Majesty's Consular Agent at Van to the British Embassy at Constantinople; and, if so, whether Her Majesty's Government will obtain this Report and present it to the House?

* THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON,) Manchester, N.E.

Reports upon those events have been received and will be included in the papers which it has been resolved to present to Parliament.

MR. BRYCE

When will the papers be presented?

* SIR J. FERGUSSON

I cannot name the day, but they are in an advanced state of preparation.
