§ MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY (St. Andrews Burghs)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can state the amount of the indemnity claimed by the Russian Government through their General from the Governor of Tabriz for alleged damage done by Persians in Russian territory; and whether any portion of this indemnity will be exacted from British subjects or to the detriment of British interests at Tabriz or elsewhere.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir EDWARD GREY,) Northumberland, BerwickI have no information as to the amount of the indemnity claimed nor any reason to believe that British subjects or British interests will be affected by the claim in any way.
