HC Deb 24 March 1899 vol 69 c344
MR. YERBURGH

On behalf of the honourable Member for the Leek Division of Staffordshire, I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the subject of the Waima claim was included in the negotiations respecting Africa between the Government and that of the French Republic, which have just been brought to a close?

MR. BRODRICK

The Waima claim is a matter which is being dealt with separately, and it was not included in the negotiations referred to.

MR. HEDDERWICK (Wick Burghs)

Will the right honourable Gentleman state in plain language what the Government have done during the past year?

MR. BRODRICK

I must ask for notice.
