HC Deb 09 February 1891 vol 350 c207
MR. O. V. MORGAN (Battersea)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether attention has been directed to a cablegram in the Times of Saturday, headed "The United States and Brazil," and whether the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the rest of the British Empire will, under our present Treaty arrangements with the Republic of Brazil, be entitled to the same advantageous terms as are proposed to be granted by Brazil to the United States of North America?

SIR J. FERGUSSON

We have no Commercial Treaty in existence with Brazil, and we should not be justified, therefore, in demanding that the same advantages which have been granted by Brazil to the United States should be extended by Brazil to this country.
