HC Deb 26 April 1909 vol 4 cc11-2
Sir GEORGE WHITE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has yet succeeded in obtaining any redress or satisfaction from the Belgian Government in regard to the withholding of sites in the Congo to the British missions; and, if not, what steps he proposes to take in regard to the matter?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

The point on which the hon. Member seeks information is dealt with in the latest Memorandum from the Belgian Government, and it will, I think, be more convenient to discuss it when that communication and the reply of His Majesty's Government are laid upon the Table of the House. As I have already stated the reply is still under consideration, but I hope it will be ready shortly.
