HC Deb 09 March 1842 vol 61 c302
Dr. Bowring

wished to repeat the question which he had put to the right hon. Baronet opposite (Sir James Graham). He understood, that certain Gentlemen had taken great trouble in inquiring into the state of the suffering manufacturing population, and they had delivered in a copy of the result of their inquiries to the Home Office. He wished to know if the right hon. Baronet would consent to lay on the Table of the House the information thus conveyed to him.

Sir J. Graham

said, that since the inquiry was made last evening, he had found that such a paper as that alluded to by the hon. Member, had been received at the Home-office. It was signed by three or four persons, and purported to be the result of a conference held at the Crown and Anchor. He really had not had time to peruse the document from beginning to end, and therefore must decline saying whether there was anything in it of such a character as to render it desirable that it should be laid upon the Table. If, however, the object was to have the paper printed, he did not know that he had any reason to urge against its publication.

Dr. Bowring,

in that case, would on Tuesday move for the production of the paper.
