§ SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT (Monmouthshire, W.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government will present to Parliament the communications which have passed between the British Government and the Governments of Russia and Germany in regard to the occupation of places on the coast of China by the last-mentioned Governments?
MR. CURZONIt is too soon at present to lay any Papers, since the negotiations are still proceeding. But the Government hope to be able to do so at a later date.
§ SIR W. HARCOURTDo I understand the right hon. Gentleman to say that negotiations are still proceeding with Germany and Russia?
