§ MR. LONSDALE (Armagh, Mid)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any proposals are before His Majesty's Government for linking up the British and German African railway systems; and whether Walfisch Bay is in any way the subject of negotiations between the British and German Governments.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYThe Answer to the first part of the Question is in the negative. With regard to the second part, the only negotiations which are proceeding between His Majesty's Government and the German Government are with a view to the settlement of the boundary between the British territory of Walfisch Bay and German South-West Africa.
