HC Deb 05 August 1872 vol 213 c454
SIR JOHN GRAY

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If he would inform the House whether the authorities of the Ottoman Porte are giving effect to the provisions contained in various edicts issued by the Sultan of Turkey during recent years in favour of his Christian subjects?

VISCOUNT ENFIELD

Sir, the latest report from Constantinople, received two days ago, states that, as a general rule, the edicts in favour of the Christians are fairly carried into effect, and that as a class they have no reason for complaint.
