HC Deb 11 May 1874 vol 219 cc66-7
SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the Treaty of Commerce lately made with the Amir of Kashgar, includes or involves recognition of his independence and definition of his territory?

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON

Sir, the Treaty of Commerce lately made with the Attalik Ghazee has not yet arrived in this country, and we are, therefore, unable to state accurately what the terms of that Treaty are.

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

In consequence of the Answer of the noble Lord, I shall put some Questions to him on the subject on Friday next.
