HC Deb 16 March 1871 vol 205 cc50-1
MR. MONK

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he has any objection to lay upon the Table of the House the Reports of the Financial Commission for the Kingdom of Greece, which was presided over by the late Sir Thomas Wise in the years 1857, 1858, and 1859, on the Collection of Taxes, the Customs, and the administration of the Army of Greece?

VISCOUNT ENFIELD

said, in reply, that the Papers referred to were so voluminous as to comprise 12 folio volumes. Applications had been made for them as far back as 1860; but his predecessor, the then Under Secretary, Lord Wodehouse, declined to present them on the score of expense. There was, however, a condensed Report, in which all the essential information would be found.
