HC Deb 26 May 1884 vol 288 c1310
SIR HERBERT MAXWELL

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the information contained in the Liverpool papers describing the forcible seizure and detention of the British yacht Maud, by the Portuguese authorities in the Congo River is accurate; and, if so, whether any representations have been or will be made to the Portuguese Government on the subject?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

We have had no information respecting this. If the hon. Member can furnish the Foreign Office with any information, the matter will be attended to.
