HC Deb 07 July 1881 vol 263 c239
SIR CHARLES FORSTER

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether deputations from trading communities can be received now that the proceedings of the French Commissioners have been suspended; and, if not, whether any facilities can be afforded for making representations as to the manner in which particular trades will be affected by the proposed Treaty?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

The sittings of the Royal Commission for the purpose of receiving deputations are for the present suspended; but the Commissioners will be very happy to receive any written representations which particular trades may have omitted to send in.
