§ Colonel YATE (by Private Notice)asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can now give the House any information as to the results of the expedition to Spitzbergen during the summer of this year, when the British flag was again hoisted there, thus confirming the occupation by us of the place in the 17th century under agreement with the Dutch?
§ Mr. BONAR LAWI have been asked by my right hon. Friend to answer this question. No, Sir; the moment does not seem opportune for such a statement.
