HC Deb 26 March 1855 vol 137 c1067
MR. SANDARS

inquired of the First Lord of the Admiralty at what period it was intended to establish a blockade of the Russian ports in the Baltic and White Seas, and if the blockade was, from the first to the last, to be an effective one.

SIR C. WOOD

stated that it was intended, as soon as the Baltic ports were opened, to establish as effective a blockade as possible, and that the blockade would be effective from first to last.
