HC Deb 02 August 1906 vol 162 c1324
MR. LONSDALE (Armagh, Mid.)

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the British Concession on the north side of the river at Niu-chwang, granted in the spring of 1899, has over boon taken over; and whether it is now intended to take steps to complete the acquisition of the same.

(Answered by Secretary Sir Edward Grey.) No report on the subject of the Concession has been received since April, 1899. The limits of the Concession were then still under discussion with the Chinese authorities. Inquiry is being made.
