HC Deb 10 May 1898 vol 57 c848
SIR G. S. BADEN-POWELL

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the present position of the Bill which was recently introduced into Congress by Senator Lodge for appropriating funds to pay to Canadian sealers the amount of damages awarded by the recent Joint Commission acting under the award of the Paris Arbitration?

MR. CURZON

Provision for payment has been made by an Amendment introduced by the Senate in a Bill from the House of Representatives called the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill. This Bill, which provides for a great number and variety of charges, is now in conference of both Houses.
