§ MR. PROVANDI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he has received confirmation of the Report that Wu-sung will be declared a Treaty port by the Chinese Government, and, if so, whether it is to be attached to the port of Shanghai, from which it is only eight or ten miles distant, for the collection of duties, or if it is to be a separate port with its own Customs House?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYThe Chinese Government have announced their intention to open Wu-sung as a Treaty port and to establish a Customs station there.
