HC Deb 17 May 1898 vol 57 c1543
MR. JOSEPH WALTON (Yorkshire, Barnsley)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the correspondence between Her Majesty's Government and the Chinese and French Governments in regard to British interests in Southern China will be presented to the House before the Whitsuntide recess?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (for Mr. CURZON)

I am informed that communications with the Chinese Government are still proceeding on the subject, and I am not, therefore, in a position to state whether any Papers will be laid.
