HC Deb 17 March 1879 vol 244 cc1038-9
SIR WILLIAM HARCOURT

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, When the further Papers relating to Turkey, which were promised some time ago, will be laid upon the Table; and, whether those Papers will include the Reports relating to the insurrection in Macedonia, and the communications which have taken place with reference to Easter Roumelia?

MR. BOURKE

A Blue Book of 300 pages was prepared and printed last week, and ought to have been presented then; but I am told there was some difficulty in regard to the binding. From information I have received, I believe that it will be in the hands of hon. Members this evening or to-morrow morning. It will contain Papers relating to the insurrection in Macedonia, and communications which have taken place with reference to Eastern Roumelia which the hon. and learned Gentleman requires; and, upon the whole, will bring down the history of events to the 10th of December.
