MR. O'SHEA

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether an answer has been received to the remonstrance against the quarantine regulations imposed by Spain on ships from British ports?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

Her Majesty's Government have as yet received no reply to the representation referred to by the hon. Member.

MR. O'SHEA

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Portugal has imposed quarantine on ships from British ports?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

Yes, Sir; five days' quarantine have been imposed on vessels arriving from the United Kingdom and from British ports in the Mediterranean.

MR. O'SHEA

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the precautions against the approach of cholera from France, which actually marches with the Empire, adopted by the German authorities, were not very similar to those in use in this Country; and, whether Spain has imposed on ships from German ports such restrictions as are applied to those from British ports, and from Belgium and Holland?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

Her Majesty's Government have not yet received copies of the measures of precaution adopted in Germany, nor any report as to measures adopted in Spain with regard to vessels arriving from Germany, Belgium, and Holland.
