HC Deb 07 July 1898 vol 61 c148
MR. MCKENNA (Monmouth, N.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the general negotiations which included the question of compensation in respect of the British officers and men killed at Waima have yet been completed; and whether he is in a position to state what the compensation proposed by the French Government may be?

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

I stated in reply to a Question on the same subject on June 28th that the general negotiations, in which the case of Waima, with several others, is included, were now about to be resumed, the Niger negotiations having terminated. The answer therefore to both Questions of the honourable Member is in the negative.
