HC Deb 15 May 1905 vol 146 cc275-6
SIR MANCHERJEE BHOWNAG-GREE (Bethnal Green, N. E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if any modifications in the terms of the Tibet Convention have been agreed upon in consequence of the negotiations that have recently taken place between Great Britain and China; if so, will he state the nature and particulars of the changes to be effected; and, further, if the Government of India have been consulted on the subject.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. BRODRICK, Surrey, Guild-ord)

The negotiations as to the adhesion of China to the Tibet Convention are still proceeding, and I am not in a position to make any statement on the subject. The negotiations are being conducted on behalf of His Majesty's Government in India by the Government of India.
