HC Deb 17 August 1911 vol 29 c2079
Mr. MORRELL

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can give any information as to the present position of the proposed Treaty of arbitration between this country and the United States of America?

Sir E. GREY

I understand that the Treaty, which was signed at Washington on the 3rd instant, is now before the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate of the United States.

Mr. MORRELL

Is it a fact that the Senate has inserted Amendments?

Sir E. GREY

I have seen the statement in the newspapers, but I have no official information of what the Senate has actually done.
