SIR WALTER FOSTERTo ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received any fresh information as to the German Sanatorium Syndicate from Lisbon or Madeira; and whether, if the concession is still unsigned, he will instruct the British Minister at Lisbon to ask for equality of treatment for British residents in Madeira as regards the exemptions and privileges which the Germans are acquiring to the detriment of British commercial interests.
(Answered by Earl Percy.) His Majesty's Government are in communication with the Portuguese Government, and I am unable to make a further statement at present. No concession has yet been given for the supply of water.
