HC Deb 27 November 1890 vol 349 cc128-9
MR.BRYCE (Aberdeen,S.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, when Papers relating to the condition of the Christians of Asiatic Turkey will be presented to the House; and whether these Papers will contain any recent Reports by Mr. Clifford Lloyd upon the state of the vilayet of Erzeroum?

MR. F. S. STEVENSON (Suffolk, Eye)

had on the Notice Paper the following Question: To ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs when the Further Correspondence relating to the Affairs of Armenia will be published?

SIR J. FERGUSSON

I will, with the permission of the House, answer at the same time the question of the hon. Member for the Eye Division (Mr. F. Stevenson). These Papers are being prepared, but I cannot make a definite undertaking as to the time at which they will be presented. They will, of course, contain Reports from Mr. Clifford Lloyd.

MR. BRYCE

Are the Papers likely to be ready before Christmas?

SIR J. FERGUSSON

I am not in a position to say yet when they will be presented.

MR. BRYCE

I will repeat the question on an early day.
