HC Deb 22 June 1916 vol 83 c291
9. Colonel YATE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether there is any probability of a speedy release of the British Consul and other British subjects of Shiraz now held prisoners by German emissaries in Persia?

Sir E. GREY

Everything possible is being done to secure the release of these captives, but I regret that I cannot at present give any more definite information on the subject.
