HC Deb 16 May 1898 vol 57 c1384
MR. GIBSON BOWLES (Lynn Regis)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether any, and, if so, how much, territory on the mainland is included in the lease by China to Great Britain of Wei-hai-Wei; and whether Her Majesty's Government propose to place it under the control of the Colonial Office or under that of the Foreign Office?

MR. CURZON

I am not in a position to make any statement on the subject.
