HC Deb 19 June 1876 vol 230 cc7-8
MR. HANBURY

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the Government have received from Her Majesty's Minister at Athens any intelligence as to the manner in which the Greek Government are carrying out the stipulations contained in Article 7 of the Treaty of the 29th day of March 1864 for the fulfilment by that Government of all Contracts entered into by the Ionian Islands when under British jurisdiction, and more especially with regard to the Public Debt of those Islands; and, whether he will lay upon the Table of the House any Correspondence with the Greek Government upon the subject?

MR. BOURKE

Sir, a correspondence upon this subject has been going on for some time with Her Majesty's Minister at Athens. Her Majesty's Government have now entered into communication with the other guaranteeing Powers with respect to it. There will be no objection to lay the correspondence before Parliament when it is concluded.
