HC Deb 23 February 1903 vol 118 c492
EDMUND ROBERTSON

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the new agreement relating to the Australasian Squadron has yet been ratified by the Governments concerned.

MR. ARNOLD-FORSTER

The agreement cannot be ratified until it has been approved by the Federal Parliament of Australia and the Parliament of New Zealand, which are not yet in session.
