HC Deb 06 April 1908 vol 187 cc934-5
MR. WEDGWOOD

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any official information to the effect that the Persian Government either contemplate, or actually are, replacing the Belgians now in the Persian Customs service by Germans.

MR. RUNCIMAN

My right hon. friend has nothing to add to the Answer which he returned to the Question asked by the hon. Member on this subject on the 1st instant.

MR. WEDGWOOD

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that the Answer on 1st March was to the effect that the German Government did not wish to have Germans in the Persian service?

MR. RUNCIMAN

Yes sir, I answered the Question myself.
