§ MR. MORTON (Peterborough)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Government of Newfoundland will be directly represented at the arbitration on the "French Shore Difficulty" by a delegate from the Colony or only through the Foreign Office?
§ SIR J. FERGUSSONHer Majesty's Government have invited the Government of Newfoundland to name a delegate with full local knowlege to represent the colony on the Board of Arbitration, but no final answer has yet been received.
§ SIR G. CAMPBELLI understand that the sanction of Parliament will be necessary in regard to the arbitration, and I wish to know when that sanction will be asked for?
§ *THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH,) Strand, WestminsterThe attention of Parliament will be invited to the subject in the course of a few days, but not in this House.
