HC Deb 13 July 1909 vol 7 c1835
Mr. LYNCH

I desire to ask the right hon. Baronet whether he can state the number of the Russian troops at present in Persia, and approximately their distribution?

Sir E. GREY

I beg to refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply just returned to the hon. Member for North Cork. I have not included in the enumeration the guards attached to Russian Consular establishments in Persia, except in cases where they have recently been increased.
