HC Deb 30 April 1896 vol 40 c201
MR. F. S. STEVENSON (Suffolk, Eye)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, when Mr. Fitzmaurice's Report on the Massacres at Urfa will be presented to Parliament?

MR. SAMUEL SMITH (Flintshire)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether the Government have yet received reliable information regarding the massacres of Armenian Christians at Urfa; and if so whether he can state the number who are believed to have perished?

MR. CURZON

I am afraid that I cannot at present answer the hon. Members' Questions, inasmuch as Mr. Fitzmaurice's report on the events at Urfa has not yet been received.

MR. STEVENSON

Has it been received at Constantinople?

MR. CURZON

I cannot say, it, has not come here.
