MR. STAVELEY HILL (Staffordshire, Kingswinford)asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether, considering the increasing importance of the subject, and the breach of diplomatic relations between this country and Venezuela, Her Majesty's Government will consider the advisability of sending a Commission to settle the boundary between British Guiana and Venezuela?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N.E.)Her Majesty's Government have every wish to arrive at a settlement of the boundary question; but no such step as that suggested can be taken so long as the Venezuelan Government maintains the suspension of diplomatic relations with this country.
