Sir Edward Grey, Under-Secretary far Foreign Affairs, in reply to a question in the House of Commons, said that he had not been informed as to the French ultimatum in regard to Siam. (Received 1.20 a.m., July 22nd.) July 21.
In the House of Commons to-day, Sir E. Gray said that the only want of the ultimatum which concerned England, was the French action with regard to the territory in Siam. Lord Hufferia had returned to Paris for the purpose of exchanging amicable views on the point. In the House of Commons clauses 30 to 40 in the Home Rule Bill, dealing with police, miscellaneous, and transitory provisions, were carried by majorities ranging from 26 to 35. The enforcement of the closure created some excitement. There were cries of “ shame ” and “ gag;.” On clause 30 five Unionists abstained from , voting, and the minority consisted of a few Radicals and Parnellites.
The Channel Tunnel Bill hasp been withdrawn.
