§ LORD G. BENTINCKhad given no notice of the question he was about to put to the Foreign Secretary, but no doubt the noble Lord could answer it at once: it was, whether he was not in possession of an official report of the Belgian Government, giving a distinct contradiction to the statement made the other night by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the hon. Member for Westbury (Mr. J. Wilson); and if so, whether the document would be laid on the table?
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONbelieved the Belgian Government was better engaged than in contradicting statements of Members of this House. But he really did not know to what the noble Lord referred.
§ LORD G. BENTINCKreferred to the statement made respecting the sugar duties, and the premium given by the Belgian Government on the exportation of refined sugar.
§ VISCOUNT PALMERSTONwould ascertain whether there was such a document.
§ LORD G. BENTINCKYou have got it.
