SIR GILBERT PARKERI beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can state when the Return moved for in the session of 1906 relating to most-favoured-nation treaties of foreign countries is likely to be issued.
§ MR. J. A. PEASEThe delay has been due to the fact that the preparation of the Return entailed a considerable amount of correspondence with foreign Governments. The Return is now nearly complete, and will, my right hon. friend hopes, be laid soon.
