§ MR. ANDERSONasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If his attention has been called to British claims of long standing against Brazil, which the late Government frequently stated to be on the eve of satisfactory settlement; and, if he can give any assurance that, the present Government will insist on all these pending matters being brought to an issue?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKESir, some delay has arisen in consequence of 781 the Brazilian Government desiring to revise their list of counter claims, and also by reason of the recent change of Government in Brazil. But Her Majesty's Government hope that negotiations will shortly be resumed on the subject.
