HC Deb 19 June 1890 vol 345 cc1376-7
SIR DONALD CURRIE (Perthshire, W.)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will be good enough to lay upon the Table of the House copies of the Letter from the Foreign Office, dated the 12th February, 1889, addressed to the Colonial Office, with the enclosure therein referred to; also Sir Hercules Robinson's Despatch to Lord Knutsford, dated the 15th April, 1889 (No. 270), with the enclosure to the said Letter, being a Minute of the Prime Minister of the Cape, Sir Gordon Sprigg, addressed to the Governor of Cape Colony, and dated Cape Town, 9th April, 1889?

SIR J. FERGUSSON

I cannot answer without notice; but as the Papers include a document written by a Foreign Ambassador, I do not think I can promise the Papers.
