HC Deb 17 February 1896 vol 37 cc442-3
MR. R. M'KENNA (Monmouth, N.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether his attention has been called to the concluding words in the communication of M. Berthelot to M. Guieysse, contained in the recently-issued French Yellow-book, relating to the affairs of Siam and the Upper Mekong, in which he alludes to the execution of the Treaty of 3rd October 1893 as remaining incomplete; and, whether he has any information as to the particulars in respect of which the said Treaty is alleged to be still incomplete?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. GEORGE CURZON,) Lancashire, Southport

I have seen the words in question. The particulars referred to are understood to relate to the provisions connected with the 25 Kilometre Zone.
