HL Deb 13 July 1900 vol 85 c1427
THE EARL OF KIMBERLEY

May I ask the noble Marquess opposite whether the Government have any further news from China?

THE PRIME MINISTER AND SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (The Marquess of SALISBURY)

I regret very much to say that we have no news whatever. Of course, as the noble Lord is well aware, there are certain items of news current this afternoon in London, but they do not come from the Government, and, confining myself entirely to the question the noble Lord has asked me, I can only say that we have no news at all.
