§ MR. JENNINGS (Stockport)In the absence of the hon. Member for the Peckham Division of Camberwell I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the exemption from transit dues granted by the Anglo-German Agreement to the goods of England and Germany between Nyassa and the Congo State, and between the northern end of Lake Tanganyika and the British sphere of influence, would extend, under the Most Favoured Nation Clauses, to the goods of other nations?
§ SIR J. FERGUSSONI do not find in the Agreement between Germany and Portugal any parallel of latitude named, but the geographical description of the southern boundary of the German sphere of influence would nearly correspond 1799 with the 11th degree of south latitude. Should any questions arise south of the line mentioned in the Despatch, they would arise either with the Congo State or with the Portuguese.
