HC Deb 06 December 1906 vol 166 c1177
SIR EDWARD SASSOON (Hythe)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the negotiations in connection with the projected Russo British loan to Persia are now completed.

SIR EDWARD GREY

I am unable at present to make any statement on the subject.

In Answer to a further Question from Sir EDWARD SASSOON:—

SIR EDWARD GREY

It is obvious that a matter of this kind cannot be arranged without the consent of the three Governments concerned. When anything has been definitely settled it will be made known. In the meantime I can make no statement.
