§ MR. ONSLOWasked the Secretary of State for India, Whether he can state the results of the mission from the King of Burmah to the Viceroy of India; and, whether there is any objection to lay upon the Table of the House Papers for the last four or five years regarding affairs in Burmah (not British)?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONSir, the negotiations with the Burmese Mission have not yet reached a stage at which any statement on the subject can conveniently be made; but I have every reason to believe that a Treaty will be concluded. Pending the negotiations being concluded, there are no Papers of importance regarding Burmese affairs which can be laid upon the Table of the House without detriment to the Public Service. When the negotiations are concluded I shall take care that the Papers are presented to the House.
