MR. GIBSON BOWLESI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury are any negotiations being carried on between His Majesty's Government and the Government of Russia for a treaty with regard to Persia, on the same principles as those on which the recent Anglo-French Agreement was concluded, with reference to Egypt, Morocco, and Siam; has any correspondence passed on the subject; and can any Papers be laid.
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURThe answer to my hon. friend is in the negative.
