HC Deb 20 February 1912 vol 34 c430
Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALD

asked if the right hon. Gentleman proposes to issue amongst Persian papers those relating to Mr. Shuster's financial administration sent by our representative at Teheran and also those relating to the appointment of M. Mornard to the Treasurer-Generalship; and when Persian papers may be expected?

Sir E. GREY

The papers now in preparation, which I hope to lay next month, will include reports by His Majesty's Minister at Teheran respecting Mr. Shuster's services under the Persian Government. They will not bring the correspondence up to a date sufficiently recent to include the question of Monsieur Mornard's appointment, but this subject will be covered in further papers which will be laid without avoidable delay.

Mr. MORRELL

Can the right hon. Baronet tell me if M. Mornard is now permanently appointed, and if the Foreign Office agrees to his appointment?

Sir E. GREY

I must ask the hon. Member to give me notice.
