HC Deb 16 March 1899 vol 68 c980
SIR E. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT (Sheffield, Ecclesall)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give the House any information as to the negotiations with France regarding the Nile Valley, and especially as to the delimitation of the Western Soudan?

MR. BRODRICK

I am unable to say more than that the negotiations are progressing.
