MR. GOURLEY (Sunderland)

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, What arrangements Her Majesty's Government have made with the Governments of the United States and the Dominion of Canada for the settlement of the recent fishery disputes?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. BRYCE) (Aberdeen, S.)

Negotiations on the subject are now in progress, and are being conducted in a friendly spirit; but they have not yet reached such a stage as would enable Her Majesty's Government to make any definite statement on the matter.
