HC Deb 07 July 1874 vol 220 cc1222-3
MR. SEEJEANT SIMON

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether Her Majesty's Government have determined to send a representative to the Congress to be held at Brussels; if so, under what conditions, with reference to the subjects to be considered, and what will be his powers? If he was not out of Order, he would beg to ask whether the right hon. Gentleman was in a position to give them any information on the subject beyond the statement made in "another place? "

MR. DISRAELI

Sir, Her Majesty's Government have offered to send a delegate to the Congress at Brussels if we receive satisfactory assurances on various points which have been communicated to the Russian Government. With regard to the conditions to which I refer, and to which also the hon. and learned Gentleman refers, and other details, I think it would not be convenient at this moment, and that it would lead to misapprehension, if I were to enter into any explanation. The Papers will be laid almost immediately on the Table of the House, and will give full information on this subject. I shall be disappointed if they are not laid on the Table during the present week.
