HC Deb 10 August 1894 vol 28 cc569-70
SIR R. TEMPLE (Surrey, Kingston)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether before Parliament rises, he will be able to announce the evacuation of Chantabun, in Siam, by French forces; and whether Papers will be presented to this House?

SIR E. GREY

I have no further statement to make with respect to Chantabun.

MR. GIBSON BOWLES

Has the hon. Baronet any reason to believe that the French intend to evacuate the place?

SIR E. GREY

I have given the reasons, as far as I understand them, why the evacuation has not already taken place.
