HC Deb 07 May 1901 vol 93 c937
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can give any information in reference to the firing by German troops upon a British boat in China; has the noble Lord's attention been directed to a report in the newspapers that such an incident has occurred, and will he make inquiries.

[No answer was returned.]

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

repeated the question.

*VISCOUNT CRANBORNE

I must ask the hon. Member to put his question on the Paper.

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

I beg to give notice that I will put the question on the Paper. I am sorry the noble Lord wants to waste the time of the House.

*MR. SPEAKER

Order, order!

MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

It is a waste of time.
