§ MR. ANDERSONasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether British claims against Brazil are yet settled, or how long the Brazilian Government is to be allowed to evade these?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEMy hon. Friend must not forget that there are counter-claims. We are trying to come to an adjustment of the British claims, which are, at the present moment, undergoing careful scrutiny for that purpose.
§ MR. ANDERSONasked whether it was not the fact that those counterclaims arose in connection with the liberation of slaves and the seizure of slave ships, and were such as the Government were not entitled to sanction?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEI cannot answer that Question without Notice.
