HC Deb 23 January 1805 vol 3 cc57-8
Mr. Fox

expressed a-wish to know when the papers relative to the negotiation of govt. with Spain, previous to the war, would be laid before the house; and also what, day it was the intention of the right hon. the Ch. of the Excheq. to appoint for the discussion of the subject In which those papers referred.

The Chanc of the Exchequer

stated, that the papers to which the hon. gent, alluded, required more time to print for the use of the house than he was at first aware of, but that they would be laid on the table to-morrow. As those papers were very voluminous, and as it was desirable that the house should have full time to consider their contents, the right hon. gent, thought it advisable not to bring forward the discussion of the subject as early as he originally intended, but would appoint Thursday, the 31st inst. for that purpose.—Adjourned.
