HC Deb 26 March 1907 vol 171 c1639
MR. LYNCH (Yorkshire, W. R., Ripon)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Turkish Commissioners for the rectification of the Turco-Persian frontier arrived in Mosul on 5th July last, and at once proceeded to Passovah to meet the Persian Commissioners; whether any result has yet been reached; and, if not, whether His Majesty's Government, in pursuance of the policy followed in this question since 1843, will now endeavour, in conjunction with the Russian Government, to bring about a speedy settlement of the dispute.

SIR EDWARD GREY

The Joint Commission which met at Mosul in July last was not productive of any definite results. A fresh commission has, however, recently met at Mosul. His Majesty's Government have not yet received any reports as to its proceedings, and I cannot add anything to my previous Answer.
