HC Deb 30 May 1907 vol 175 c72
MR. LYNCH

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give the House any information concerning the present state of affairs in Persia.

SIR EDWARD GREY

A recent telegram from His Majesty's Minister at Tehran reports that the situation in the provinces, which has been somewhat unsettled, is now better, and that all is quiet in the south. A popular demonstration occurred on the 25th instant at Tehran, but stops were taken to allay the excitement, which subsided.

MR. LYNCH

Is it the case that the brother of the Shah is raising troops in the South, and is marching on the capital?

SIR EDWARD GREY

I must ask for notice of that Question.
