§ MR. JOSEPH WALTON (Yorkshire, W.R., Barnsley)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can lay upon the Table of the House the award of M. Detring in respect of the Tientsin Railway Siding dispute.
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Lord CRANBORNE, Rochester)We have heard by telegraph that the award of the Arbitrator has been given in favour of the railway on two points, and we must await the receipt by mail of the full text of the award, which will show whether a settlement has been arrived at on all the points in dispute It is impossible to say whether the Papers Mill be laid until we have seen them, but I hope there will be no difficulty.
