HC Deb 15 May 1902 vol 108 cc358-9
MR. WEIR

To ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, seeing that the boundary pillars which were put up on the Thibet-Sikkim frontier, in accordance with a treaty signed at Darjeeling, have been destroyed by the Thibetans, will he say whether any correspondence has taken place on the subject, and whether any steps will be taken to secure the restoration of these boundary pillars.

(Answer.) The answer to both the hon. Member's Questions is in the affirmative. Whenever the political officer for Sikkim next proceeds along the frontier he will erect or restore boundary pillars where necessary.—(Foreign Office.)
