§ MR. MUNTZasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If his attention has been called to the recent Convention between Austria, Italy, and Germany, abolishing the visitation of passengers' luggage at their respective frontiers; and if Her Majesty's Government would consider the propriety of extending this convenience by similar Conventions with France and Belgium?
§ VISCOUNT ENFIELDI believe, Sir, that a notification has appeared in the newspapers, to the effect that a Convention has been made between Austria, Italy, and Germany, abolishing the visitation of passengers' luggage at their respective frontiers; but no communication has been made on the subject to Her Majesty Government from the Governments of the countries in question with respect to its provisions. Under those circumstances I could not undertake to say whether Her Majesty's Government are prepared to make any proposals on this point to the Governments of France and Belgium.
