HC Deb 22 April 1909 vol 3 c1656
Dr. RUTHERFORD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has recently received a telegram from British residents in Tabriz asking for protection; and, if so, whether he could say what steps he is taking in the matter?

Sir E. GREY

On the 19th instant I received a telegram from British subjects at Tabriz, stating that they were in imminent danger of attack. As regards the second part of the hon. Member's question, I beg to refer him to my reply returned to-day to the hon. Member for the St. Andrews District.

Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

What is the date of the commencement of the six-days' armistice?

Sir E. GREY

I think it was Monday; I am not quite sure.
