HC Deb 21 August 1893 vol 16 cc640-1
MR. CURZON

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any British gunboats still remain at Bangkok; and, if not, why they have been removed?

*SIR E. GREY

According to the latest information received by Her Majesty's Government the Linnet is still at Bangkok; only the Pallas and Pigmy have left.

MR. CURZON

I saw in the papers the statement that the Linnet also had been removed. Perhaps, therefore, I may be allowed to put the question again on the Paper, in order to enable the hon. Baronet to ascertain a little more accurate information another day.

*SIR E. GREY

Our latest information is that the Linnet remains. If it has been removed it is only because the authorities on the spot were quite sure that there was no further danger.
