HC Deb 10 November 1908 vol 196 c41
DR. RUTHERFORD (Middlesex, Brentford)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in the interests of the Anglo-Russian entente, he will consider the advisability of suggesting that the respective Governments should recall their subjects who are in the Persian service.

SIB EDWARD GREY

The Answer is in the negative. I do not think such a suggestion would be advisable.
