HC Deb 15 February 1911 vol 21 cc1038-9
Mr. CATHCART WASON

asked whether any of the North Sea Powers as well as Great Britain have entered their protests against the claims put forward by Russia to extend their territorial waters to limit of range of modern artillery?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I presume that the hon. Member refers to the Bill at present before the Duma extending the limits of territorial waters along the northern coasts of Russia to twelve miles in fishery matters. I am not aware that any other Powers, besides Great Britain, have yet protested against it.
