HC Deb 12 May 1890 vol 344 cc700-1
MR. ILLINGWORTH (Bradford, W.)

May I ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the statement in to-day's Standard is correct, that the German Government have received information that it is not the intention of the British Government to proceed this year with the Sugar Bounties Treaty; and whether it is also true that the German Government is about to proceed upon its own account in the matter?

*SIR J. FERGUSSON

Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will please to put down the question.
