HC Deb 01 June 1899 vol 72 cc81-2
SIR EDWARD GOURLEY (Sunderland)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will be good enough to inform the House whether the Anglo-American Commission is to reassemble; if so, when? Can he state the nature and extent of the differences alleged to exist between the American and Canadian members of the Commission; and whether the whole or any portion of the points at issue are to be referred to arbitration?

*MR. BRODRICK

The Commission adjourned until 2nd August. Negotiations are still proceeding, and it is impossible to make any statement at present.
