HC Deb 18 February 1878 vol 237 c1848
COLONEL BERESFORD

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether Her Majesty's Government will endeavour to obtain for the Polish subjects of the Emperor of Russia a like measure of civil and religious liberty to that which the conference may decide to be fit for the territories belonging to His Majesty the Sultan of Turkey?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

Sir, Her Majesty's Government have no reason to suppose that the affairs of Poland will be brought before the Congress.
