§ MR. DAVITTI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government have agreed to the abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty; and it he can state when the correspondence with the United States Government on that and other matters relating to the Nicaragua Canal will be presented to Parliament?
§ MR. BRODRICKCommunications in reference to certain proposed modifications of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty have 1281 been exchanged between the Government of the United States and Her Majesty's Government, but no agreement has yet been reached. In these circumstances it would not be possible at the present time to lay any papers before Parliament on the subject.
