HC Deb 23 June 1884 vol 289 c1091
MR. ANDERSON

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the proposed new arrrangement with Venezuela involves a new Treaty; and, if so, whether that Treaty will be submitted for consideration by Parliament before being finally concluded?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

A proposal has been made to the Venezuelan Government with a view to settling certain points in dispute which have arisen out of the terms of the existing Commercial Treaty. The questions involved are matters of detail, and it is not intended to submit the arrangement for previous consideration to Parliament.
