HC Deb 11 February 1853 vol 124 c41
LORD DUDLEY STUART

wished to ask the noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs (Lord John Russell) whether, in the present state of Turkey, he intended any longer to leave this country unrepresented at Constantinople, or whether he intended to send out Lord Stratford, or some other individual?

LORD JOHN RUSSELL

replied that he had seen Lord Stratford de Redcliffe that day on the subject, that he had had several previous communications with the noble Lord on the affairs in Turkey, and that it was now arranged that he should go out almost immediately to resume his functions as British Ambassador at the Porte.

House adjourned at Six o'clock till Monday next.
