HC Deb 19 June 1876 vol 230 c6
MR. FORSYTH

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether, considering the Report of the Royal Commission on Fugitive Slaves, it is intended to withdraw the second Admiralty Circular on the subject, and to issue fresh instructions based on the recommendations of the Royal Commission?

MR. HUNT

, in reply, said, the Report of the Royal Commission on Fugitive Slaves had not yet been circulated among hon. Members. When it had been so circulated and Members had had sufficient time to consider its contents, Her Majesty's Government would take an opportunity of stating what course they intended to pursue.
