§ SIR GILBERT PARKER (Gravesend)To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affair when the Return, giving particulars of the most-favoured-nation treaties of foreign countries, moved for last session, will be issued.
§ (Answered by Secretary Sir Edward Grey.) The work involved in the preparation of this Return is very considerable, owing to the large number of treaties of this nature, all of which have to be checked. No time will be lost, but I am afraid I cannot at present specify any date at which it will be possible to complete it.
