HC Deb 07 May 1901 vol 93 c936
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Chinese Government has addressed a Note to the Powers in reference to Manchuria; and, if so, what is proposed by China in this Note.

*THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS. (Viscount CRANBORNE,) Rochester

I am not quite sure to what the hon. Member refers, but no such Note has been received recently from the Chinese Government.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

Have any proposals of any kind been recently made by the Chinese Government to the Powers with reference to the opening up of Manchuria?

*VISCOUNT CRANBORNE

No.
