HC Deb 03 February 1902 vol 102 c178
MR. JAMES O'KELLY (Roscommon, N.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether His Majesty's Government has received any assurance of a proximate evacuation of Manchuria by the Russian troops.

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

The Russian Government have not receded from the intention which they have announced to evacuate Manchuria. It is understood that negotiations for that object, which were delayed by the death of Li Hung Chang, are still proceeding.
