§ MR. BROOKFIELD (Sussex, Rye)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he is now in a position to give the House any information as to the intentions of the Government with regard to the garrison and fortifications of Wei-hai-Wei?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYUntil we have been for some time in occupation of the port in question, I do not think we can come to any determination on the matter referred to by my honourable Friend.
