§ Sir B. SHEFFIELDasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been drawn to the letter addressed to the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs by the chairman of the Mexican Railway concerning the recognition of the Mexican Government by Great Britain; and what the Government propose to do in the matter?
§ Mr. PONSONBYThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; the British representative in Mexico has been asked for his observations on the matter. I would also refer to the reply which my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister gave on the 18th February to questions on the subject of the recognition of Mexico.
