To ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how the £13,900 voted last year for Unforeseen Missions and Services was spent.

(Answered by Earl Percy.) The items will be shown in the Appropriation Accounts for 1903–4 which will be laid before Parliament in due course by the Comptroller and Auditor-General. Upwards of £13,000 were spent on the following services: Alaska Boundary Commission; Venezuela Claims Arbitration; Sugar Convention at Brussels; Japanese Leases Arbitration; and unforeseen expenditure was incurred under several other heads.
