HC Deb 12 August 1878 vol 242 cc1767-8
MR. GOURLEY

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If he will be good enough to inform the House when Her Majesty's Government intend removing the Fleet, now under the command of Admiral Hornby, from the neighbourhood of Constantinople?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

The British Fleet will be removed from the neighbourhood of Constantinople at the same time as the Russian Forces are removed, which I hope will be soon.
