§ 2. Colonel YATEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Russian railway from Julfa to Tabriz, in North Persia, has been completed; and what progress has been made with the British concession for the Mohammerah-Khoramabad railway in South Persia?
§ Lord R. CECILThe answer to the first part of the question is, I believe, in the affirmative. As regards the second part, the survey of the Mohammerah-Khorama-bad line has inevitably been delayed by the disturbed local conditions.
