HC Deb 16 June 1896 vol 41 c1160
MR. J. M. MACLEAN (Cardiff)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India, whether he has received a Dispatch from the Government of India expressing the views of that Government on the agreement with reference to Siam recently concluded between France and England; and, whether he will lay any such Dispatch upon the Table of the House?

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON

A Dispatch has recently been received on this subject from the Indian Government, and if my hon. Friend moves for it I will lay it upon the Table of the House.

*SIR CHARLES DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)

asked if the Indian Government were consulted beforehand?

LORD GEORGE HAMILTON

Certainly.
