HC Deb 18 June 1903 vol 123 cc1310-1
MR. STUART SAMUEL (Tower Hamlets, Whitechapel)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will obtain from a British Consular Officer a Report as to the measures which have been taken to bring to justice the persons responsible for the late outrages on the Jews at Kischineff, and the punishments, if any, inflicted on such persons; and if he will lay the same upon the Table.

LORD CRANBORNE

His Majesty's Ambassador at St. Petersburg, and His Majesty's Consul-General at Odessa (the nearest place to Kischineff at which a British Consular Officer is stationed) will undoubtedly report all that comes to their knowledge as to the measures taken by the Russian authorities. But the matter shall not be lost sight of. When the Reports are received I hope to be able to give full information to the House.
