§ MR. JOSEPH WALTON (Yorkshire, W.R., Barnsley)I wish to ask the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs a question of which I have given him private notice. It is whether he can give the House any information in regard to the reported seizure by Russia of land at Tientsin, which was mortgaged to British bondholders.
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Viscount CRANBORNE,) RochesterSince I received the private notice I have not had any opportunity of obtaining the last information from the Foreign Office. I must ask the hon. Member to put the question on the Paper.
§ MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare. E.)Can the Under Secretary for Foreign. Affairs say why General Barrow's orders, that the action of Russia should be opposed by force of arms, could not be carried out?
§ VISCOUNT CRANBORNEThe hon. Member must give notice.
