HC Deb 22 July 1909 vol 8 cc595-6
Mr. HART-DAVIES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any negotiations with reference to the Baghdad Railway were going on, or were contemplated, either with the Turkish Government or the concessionaires of the railway; and, if not, whether His Majesty's Government would consider the advisability of considering if some arrangement might be come to now with the view of abrogating Clause 29 of the Baghdad Convention of 1903?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir Edward Grey)

I am not in a position to add anything to the reply made to the hon. Member for the Montgomery Boroughs on 12th May, but no negotiations are at present proceeding on the subject.
