§ MR. C. E. PRICE (Edinburgh, Central)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has discussed with Sir Ernest Satow the question of concessions in China; whether any settlement has been arrived at with the 914 Chinese Government; and, if so, can he state the nature of it to the House.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir EDWARD GREY, Northumberland, Berwick)The Answer to the first part of the hon. Member's Question is in the affirmative, but we have so far arrived at no general settlement with the Chinese Government regarding concessions in China. Negotiations are proceeding separately with a view to the settlement of each out standing case.
