§ MR. BRYCE (Aberdeen)asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, What progress has been made with the negotiations contemplated in the Convention with China, signed at Pekin on the 27th July, 1886, which provides that the frontier between Burmah and China shall be settled by a Delimitation Commission, and that the 36 conditions of frontier trade shall be settled by a Frontier Trade Commission?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N. E.)The condition of affairs in Upper Burmah has hitherto prevented any progress being made with the negotiations for the delimitation of the frontier between China and Burmah; but I can assure my hon. Friend that this matter has not been lost sight of by Her Majesty's Government.
