HC Deb 30 January 1913 vol 47 cc1477-8
9. Colonel YATE

asked whether a concession has been granted to Russia by the Persian Government for the construction of a line of railway from Julfa to Tabriz; if so, whether a similar concession has been granted to Great Britain for the construction of a railway from Muhamra to Khoramabad; and, if not, when such a concession will be granted?

Sir E. GREY

So far as I am aware, neither of these concession has yet been granted, but I understand that there is good hope that both will be granted very shortly.
