§ MR. DRAGE (Derby)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Foreign Office has received any information with regard to the. Russo-Persian Bank which has been founded at Tiflis for the purpose of obtaining and working concessions in Persian territory, and whether the Russo-Persian Bank is, like the Russo-Chinese Bank, tantamount to the Russian government?
§ MR. BRODRICKWe have received no information of the foundation of a Russo-Persian Bank at Tiflis, nor any particulars as to a bank of that name.
