HC Deb 26 June 1879 vol 247 c722
SIR ALEXANDER GORDON

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, If, when he lays upon the Table of the House a Copy of the Treaty recently concluded with the Ameer of Afghanistan, he will also lay a sketch Map showing the territory ceded to England?

MR. E. STANHOPE

Sir, the exact limits of the districts not ceded, but assigned, by the Ameer of Afghanistan to the protection and administration of the British Government, are to be demarcated by a mixed boundary Commission. It may, therefore, not be possible to do what the hon. and gallant Member asks; but we will give such a map as soon as we can.
