HC Deb 16 June 1879 vol 246 cc1908-9
SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he will re-consider his determination not to print as Parliamentary Papers even those of the Cyprus Ordinances, which are as peculiar in their nature as the following—namely, the Ordinance of 1879, giving power to the Cyprus Government to exile persons without trial; the Ordinance of 1878, prohibiting the sale of land in Cyprus to all persons not British or Turkish subjects; and the Ordinance of 1870, raising special taxation on all lands left uncultivated, and forfeiting unclaimed lands to the Government?

MR. BOURKE

, in reply, said, he would place in the Library of the House Copies of the Ordinances referred to by the hon. Baronet; but he did not propose to lay them on the Table.
