HC Deb 20 June 1907 vol 176 cc610-1
MR. FELL

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if the sum of £15,000 paid by the Government for the ransom of Mr. Abbott has yet been paid by the Turkish Government; and, if not, when does he expect it will be paid.

SIR EDWARD GREY

The sum has not yet been paid by the Ottoman Government, but His Majesty's Ambassador at Constantinople will not lose sight of the matter.
