HC Deb 12 March 1908 vol 185 c1749
MR. GRETTON

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if the Aland Islands are now occupied by Russian troops.

SIR EDWARD GREY

I have no information subsequent to that contained in my replies to the Questions asked by the hon. Member for Blackpool on 25th October, 1906, and 30th July last. I have no reason to suppose that anything has occurred since which materially alters the situation.

LORD BALCARRES (Lancashire, Chorley)

And were the Russians not at that time in occupation?

SIR EDWARD GREY

There were two officers and fifteen men in the islands then.
