EARL OF RONALDSHAYI beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Chinese Government have yet accepted the demarcation of that part of the Sino-Burmese frontier known as Scott's Line; and, if not, whether negotiations are still in progress with a view to a settlement acceptable to both parties being arrived at, and how long such negotiations have already been in progress.
MR. J. A. PEASE; for Sir E. GREY) (Essex, Saffron WaldenThe Chinese Government have not yet accepted the Line which His Majesty's Government notified to them in 1906 as, in their 1557 opinion, constituting the boundary. | Since then negotiations have taken place at intervals, but no settlement has been arrived at yet.
