HC Deb 28 April 1915 vol 71 c713
34. Sir J. D. REES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether Herr Wassmuss, German Consul-General at Shiraz, is still at Shiraz awaiting instructions from the German Legation at Teheran; and, if so, whether he is a free agent after his violation of Persian neutrality?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. C. Roberts)

It is understood that Herr Wassmuss is still at Shiraz, but I am not aware that his Consular appointment has been recognised by the Persian Government. It is understood that the Persian authorities have not interfered with his liberty.
