HC Deb 15 May 1885 vol 298 c620
MR. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the Czar has approved the frontier of Afghanistan adopted in London by Lords Granville and Kimberley and Baron de Staal and M. Lessar; whether this frontier leaves General Komaroff in possession of Penjdeh; and, whether the Russian Government decline to give any pledges as to Herat and other parts of Afghanistan?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

No answer has yet been presented by Russia to Her Majesty's Government. I can give no details with regard to negotiations which are still going on.
