HC Deb 02 July 1908 vol 191 cc953-4
MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will consider the advisability of reinforcing the garrison of eight men of the Indian Native Cavalry guarding the British Legation at Teheran.

SIR EDWARD GREY

His Majesty's Charge d' Affaires has reported on more than one occasion that he anticipates no danger to Europeans in Teheran. I do not, therefore, propose to take any steps to reinforce the Legation guard unless he should state that he considers it advisable to do so.
