HC Deb 14 March 1898 vol 54 c1532
SIR THOMAS SUTHERLAND (Greenock)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is in a position to give the names of the Powers which have accepted the invitation of Belgium to a Conference on the subject of Sugar Bounties; and whether such acceptances have been given unreservedly so as to allow complete freedom in dealing with the discussion of bounties under whatever system of legislation they may be known to exist?

MR. CURZON

We have not yet been informed either of the number or the character of the replies that have been given to the invitation of the Belgian Government.
