§ MR. HART-DAVIESI beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to the fact that Regan, on the main routes between the Persian Gulf and Seistan, has been seized and occupied by Afghans; whether this violation of Persian territory has been carried out in order to assist the operations of gun-running from the Gulf; and whether the British Government proposes to take any steps in the matter.
§ MR. J. A. PEASEHis Majesty's Government have received information from time to time of the presence of bands of gun-runners in these regions, but there is nothing to show that Regan has been seized and occupied by them. Frequent representations on the subject have been made to the Persian Government, who have promised to do all in their power to check gun-running.
§ MR. J. A. PEASEI cannot answer that without notice.
