HC Deb 08 May 1884 vol 287 c1682
MR. ANDERSON

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If the British claims against Brazil, as adjusted by Mr. Clare Ford, are yet approaching settlement; or if some further delay is being interposed by the Brazilian Government?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

These claims are still under consideration. Mr. Corbett, Her Majesty's Minister at Rio, is about to visit England, and the matter will be further discussed with a view to its settlement. Her Majesty's Government are not aware that any delay has been interposed by the Brazilian, Government.
