§ MR. T. GIBSON BOWLES (Lynn Regis)May I ask the right hon. Gentleman the First Lord of the Treasury whether he is able to confirm the statement published in the Times this morning that a usufructuary lease of Wei-hai-Wei has been granted by China to England?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI think, perhaps, any statement with regard to the policy of the Government in the Far East had better be deferred till to-morrow.
