§ MR. PICKERSGILLI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if, for the convenience of Members, he will print, as a Parliamentary Paper, copy of the Treaty of Tien-tsin, together with copies of such subsequent Treaties, Conventions, and Agreements as will show the existing commercial obligations between this country and China?
MR. CURZONThe Treaties and Agreements referred to are all contained in Hertslet's China Treaties (with the exception of the revised Burmese Frontier Agreement of 4th February, 1897, which was published last year), and additional copies of that work can be placed in the Library if required. There does not appear, therefore, to be sufficient reason for incurring the expense of reprinting them as a Parliamentary Paper.
