§ MR. LONSDALE (Armagh, Mid)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is intended to submit the questions in dispute in reference to the Newfoundland fisheries to arbitration; and what arrangements are to be made to cover the forthcoming fishing season.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYI am unable to give any information at the present stage of the negotiations, but I hope to be able to make a general statement on the subject before the end of the session. It is now under discussion between the Governments concerned.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYsaid it was difficult to establish any analogy between the two cases.
