§ 20. Mr. WARDLAW-MILNEasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs when the draft agreement in regard to Wei-Hai-Wei will be brought before the House of Commons for consideration?
Mr. A. HENDERSONThe text of the proposed agreement has not yet been definitely settled, but I hope that it will be possible to lay it before the House shortly.
§ Rear-Admiral BEAMISHDid the agreement contain any clause permitting His Majesty's ships to visit the place and make use of it as a port of call during part of the year?
Mr. HENDERSONI have already said that the terms are not quite settled. I think I must have notice of the point raised by the hon. and gallant Member.
§ Rear-Admiral BEAMISHWill the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind the question that I have asked?
