HC Deb 04 August 1890 vol 347 cc1738-9
MR. BRUNNER

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs for what reason the German Emperor was styled the "Emperor of Germany" in Her Majesty's Speech at the opening of the Session; and par- ticularly whether he was then so described at the request of the German Foreign Office?

* SIR J. FERGUSSON

There was no request from the German Foreign Office for the description mentioned. It has been already stated that hereafter the style "German Emperor" will be officially employed in this country.
