§ MR. T. GIBSON BOWLESI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for foreign Affairs a question of which I have given private notice—namely, if he can inform the House whether the terms of peace between China and Japan include the establishment of an offensive and defensive alliance?
§ *SIR E. GREYThe precise terms have not been officially communicated to Her Majesty's Government, and I am not, therefore, at liberty to make any statement with regard to it.
