HC Deb 05 December 1928 vol 223 c1187
3. Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether His Majesty's Government has recognised any claims by Foreign Governments to exercise sovereignty over coastal waters more than three miles from their shores; if so, where and when has such claim or claims been admitted and/or recognised; and what steps were taken to secure the rights of British fishermen in such waters outside of the three-mile limit?

Sir A. CHAMBERLAIN

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative; the questions asked in the other parts do not therefore arise.
