HC Deb 06 May 1909 vol 4 c1178
Major ANSTRUTHER-GRAY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received any official information as to the Shah of Persia having granted a constitution; and, if so, when this intention is to be carried out?

Sir E. GREY

His Majesty's Minister at Teheran reports that he has been officially informed that the Shah accepts the advice formally tendered to him by the British and Russian representatives as to his future course of action. This advice includes a recommendation that he should at once re-establish a Constitutional régime. I am not yet in a position to reply to the second question.
