MR. P. O'BRIENI desire to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs a Question of which I have not been able to give him private notice, but to which he may, perhaps, be able to give a reply. It is, whether it is true that Her Majesty's Government have protested against the cession of Port Arthur to Russia?
MR. CURZONI am sure that I will have the agreement of the House with me in saying that this is not the sort of Question which ought to be put without any notice at all.
