§ MR. O'DOWD (Sligo, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Persia has been placed under martial law, which is to be administered by military officers of the Russian Imperial Service; and, if so, what steps, if any, are being taken by the Government to have constitutional government reestablished in that country.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYThe Shah has issued a proclamation placing Persia under martial law. I am not sure what appointments the Shah has given to Russian officers. His Majesty's Government do not propose to interfere in the internal government of Persia.
