HC Deb 15 March 1897 vol 47 c682
MR. BRYN ROBERTS

I beg to ask the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information as to the truth of the statement made by the correspondent of The Daily Chronicle that an Armenian agent of the Relief Fund had been murdered immediately on his arrival in the district where he had undertaken to distribute £500; and whether Sir P. Currie would be instructed to demand the arrest and punishment of the assassin and the restitution of the money stolen?

*MR. CURZON

We have received no information about this alleged murder. It hardly seems necessary to make the suggested inquiry at Constantinople, since Her Majesty's Ambassador will certainly report at once if the newspaper announcement be correct.
