HC Deb 29 June 1893 vol 14 cc350-1
MR. F. S. STEVENSON

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs when the Angora prisoners will be conveyed to Constantinople; whether any further information can be furnished on the subject; and what representations have been made with the object of securing their respite and release?

SIR E. GREY

We have no information as to the removal of the prisoners to Constantinople, and I have only to add to the statement made on Tuesday last that instructions have been sent to Her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Constantinople as to the language he should hold. It would not be advisable in the interest of the prisoners to say more.
