HC Deb 09 May 1867 vol 187 cc262-3
MR. BLAKE

said, he wished to ask the Vice President of the Board of Trade, When he will lay upon the table of the House the new Convention relative to the Sea Fisheries between France and England?

MR. STEPHEN CAVE

, in reply, said, this was really a Foreign Office Question. The Convention would be laid on the table by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; but to save the hon. Member trouble, he had obtained permission to answer that the Convention was not yet signed, though it was hoped that this might be shortly done, as there no longer existed a difference of opinion on any of the details between the two Governments.
