HC Deb 15 February 1898 vol 53 cc635-6
SIR HOWARD VINCENT

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, if he is able to state what grant has been placed at the disposal of their respective Commissions for the Paris Exhibition of 1900 by the Governments of Russia, Belgium, and Switzerland?

MR. CURZON

A sum of £66,000 has been voted by the Swiss Chambers for this purpose. Inquiry has been made as to the amounts which will be granted by the Governments of Russia and Belgium, and the result, when received, can be given if the question be repeated.
