§ BARON HENRY DE WORMSI wish to ask the noble Lord, Whether the Danubian Conference is still sitting; and whether he can inform the House if the question relating to the Kilia mouth of the Danube will be decided at that Conference; or whether the House will be consulted in any way?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICEIn reply to the first Question, the Conference is still sitting, and, as I stated the other day, I hope to be able in a very short time to give a definite answer to any Question or Questions that may be asked in respect to a matter of such great interest to English commerce. In reply to the particular Question of the hon. Member as to the Kilia mouth, 1171 no doubt that, like all the other questions, will be decided in the Conference; and immediately it is decided I hope to be able to inform the House, and also to lay the Papers on the Table.
§ BARON HENRY DE WORMSThen it will be decided in the Conference without reference to the House in the first instance?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICEYes.
