HC Deb 19 March 1883 vol 277 c804
SIR ALEXANDER GORDON

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If he will lay upon the Table of the House, a map to show the exact boundary line between Russia and Rou-mania, as that line is drawn among the Islands in the Delta of the Danube lying between Purdine and Old Kilia, and between Old Kilia and the Black Sea; and, another map (should the above map not be convenient for the purpose), to show the southern boundary of Russia between the River Pruth and the Black Sea, as that boundary was (1) fixed by the Treaty of Paris in June 1857, (a) proposed by the Treaty of San Stephano in February 1878, and (3) fixed by the Treaty of Berlin in July 1878?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

There will be no objection, Sir, to lay before Parliament a map showing the boundary between Russia and Roumania, as desired by my hon. and gallant Friend. A map snowing the Southern boundary of Russia, as fixed by the Treaty of Paris, was laid before Parliament in 1857. I may as well point out that the boundary lines on the map to be presented will indicate the line understood to have been accepted as between the Russian and Roumanian Governments.
