§ MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAY (St. Andrews Burghs)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs-when papers will be laid accounting for the delay in securing compensation for British ships sunk or damaged during the Russo-Japanese War.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYI cannot undertake to say when the negotiations with the Russian Government with regard to these cases will end, and while they are still pending it would not be usual to lay papers.
