§ BARON HENRY DE WORMSasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether it is the fact that Russia has concluded a Treaty with Persia, which gives Russia entire control over the region bordering on the province of Khorassan up to a point within twelve miles of Sarakhs, and one hundred and thirty-three miles from Herat; and, if so, whether Her Majesty's Government have made, or intend to make, any representations to the Government of St. Petersburg on the subject?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEHer Majesty's Government are not yet in possession of the Treaty respecting the boundary which has been signed between Russia and Persia; but they expect shortly to have a copy, and it will be at once communicated to Parliament. As far as they are at present informed, the furthest point to which the Frontier extends is a long way short of Sarakhs.
§ BARON HENRY DE WORMSWill the hon. Baronet answer the last portion of the Question?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEI do not think it would be convenient that I should state, in any detail, what the Government are doing on the subject; but I may say that it is engaging their attention, and is the subject of diplomatic correspondence.
