HC Deb 13 March 1846 vol 84 c979
LORD J. RUSSELL

apprehended that the right hon. Baronet would be able at once to answer the question he was about to put. In the Papers presented as the correspondence with Spain, Lord Aberdeed stated that it was intended to make a proposition to the Government of Spain on the commercial relations of the two countries, but he added that it was not intended to touch the question of the Slave Trade. The question he had to ask was, whether it was proposed, or not proposed, to admit the sugars of the Spanish Colonies as those of the most favoured nations?

SIR R. PEEL

said, that the proposal made by Government did not contemplate the admission of the sugar of Cuba.
