HC Deb 24 February 1899 vol 67 c448
SIR E. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will present to Parliament a map showing the exact territories included in the pledge of the Chinese Government not to alienate the Yangtze-Kiang Valley?

MR. BRODRICK

Such a map could not be presented without the consent of the Chinese Government, and the territories comprised in the pledge are sufficiently defined for the purposes which Her Majesty's Government have in view.
