§ MR. PERKS (Lincolnshire, Louth)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether arrangements can be made for placing day by day in the Library a printed copy of the proceedings in the Behring Sea Arbitration now being conducted in Paris?
§ *THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir E. GREY,) Northumberland, BerwickThere is no daily record of the proceedings, except uncorrected shorthand notes, which are printed for the convenience of the arbitrators and counsel. These notes have no official character, and it would be inconvenient and unusual to make them public at present. The proceedings of the tribunal will be formally recorded in Protocols which will eventually be presented to Parliament.
