HC Deb 21 May 1885 vol 298 c1027
MR. GIBSON

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Has Her Majesty's Government received confirmation of the statement in The Times of May 19tb, that the Ameer has issued a proclamation complimenting his troops on their gallantry at Penjdeh, and laying stress on the value of the British alliance; and, whether he will lay a Copy of the Ameer's proclamation upon the Table?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

We have no information as to the contents of the Ameer's Proclamation.

MR. GIBSON

Will not the noble Lord make some inquiries?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

The Ameer, we are informed, did issue a Proclamation; but no details whatever are given. I have no objection to make inquiries.
