HC Deb 13 March 1899 vol 68 c530
SIR E. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT (Sheffield, Ecclesall)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether there is any foundation for the report that Italy is about to cede Erythrea, or any portion of it, to Great Britian?

MR. BRODRICK

No. Sir; the answer is in the negative.
