HC Deb 10 May 1894 vol 24 c770
SIR G. BADEN-POWELL

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can present to the House a copy of the Treaty now negotiated between the United States and Russia for the protection of seals in Russian waters; and whether any negotiations for a similar treaty with the United Kingdom are in progress?

SIR E. GREY

We have not yet received the text of the Treaty referred to, which we are informed is similar to the Agreement now in force between the United Kingdom and Russia.

SIR G. BADEN-POWELL

Will the right hon. Gentleman answer the second part of the question?

SIR E. GREY

No further communication has been received beyond the agreement of last year.
