HC Deb 13 July 1893 vol 14 c1453
MR. BURNIE (Swansea Town)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, having successfully assisted in securing the release of Professors Thoumaïan and Kayaïan, he is continuing his efforts to endeavour to secure the release of such other of the Armenian prisoners as may be equally deserving the help of the Government as the two professors?

SIR E. GREY

The case of the other prisoners continues to occupy the attention of Her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Constantinople, and it is hoped that the Sultan will extend his clemency to some of them.

MR. GIBSON BOWLES (Lynn Regis)

Are the cases of the prisoners at Siberia also occupying the attention of the Government?

[The question was not answered.]
