HC Deb 06 November 1882 vol 274 c866
MR. ONSLOW

asked the Secretary of State for India, Whether he was in a position to place any further Papers on the Table of the House with respect to affairs in Burmah?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

Negotiations have been going on, and although they have not ended in the conclusion of a Treaty, the Envoys have drawn up a draft Treaty, which is open for completion until the 31st of December. I think it would not be desirable to place any further Papers on that subject before the House until the question of the Treaty has been finally decided; but any other Papers of general interest I will lay before the House. The draft Treaty, as the hon. Member is probably aware, has been published in the Indian papers.

MR. ONSLOW

said, he would postpone his Motion for Papers until next Session.
