HC Deb 03 August 1903 vol 126 cc1283-4
MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, if he will state when the Kobe Consular Report is likely to be issued; and will arrangements be made for the Report to be issued earlier in the year in future.

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

Since the Question was put upon the Paper the Report has been issued. The date of issue must in a measure depend upon the date on which the Returns are available from which the figures are compiled.
