He had already made it clear that the Government was firmly determined that it would not be rushed into hasty Judgments on this subject (Ironical Conser vative cheers).
The Government, he added, would not hesitate to take the House into its confidence in the event of any serious complaints arising, but they must in the first place be permitted to, judge what' action was expedient and neces- sary to safeguard British interests.
He appealed to the House not to attempt to magnify or to create "incidents** D1 to complicate Anglo-Russian relations by raising embarrasing questions.
