HC Deb 11 March 1893 vol 9 c1713
MR. GIBSON BOWLES

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury how many counsel are engaged on behalf of Her Majesty's Government in the Behring Sea Arbitration; and whether they are to receive any, and, if so, what, remuneration for their services at that Arbitration?

SIR J. T. HIBBERT

This question should be addressed to the Foreign Office.

MR. GIBSON BOWLES

Then I put it to the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.

SIR E. GREY

There are four counsel engaged. They will receive remuneration, but the exact amount is now a subject of correspondence.

MR. GIBSON BOWLES

Will the hon. Gentleman tell me who the counsel are?

SIR E. GREY

The late Attorney General, the present Attorney General, Mr. Box, and Mr. Robinson.
