HC Deb 14 May 1857 vol 145 cc263-4
MR. LIDDELL

asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether there had been transmitted, along with the other documents on the subject, by Her Majesty's Minister at Copenhagen, Mr. Buchanan, a copy of the Report of the Committee of the Danish Imperial Council on the law relating to transit dues, dated Copenhagen, April the 17th; and if so, whether a copy of the same might be laid on the table of the House? He should also be glad to know when the Government intended to invite the opinion of the House on the very important matters contained in that convention?

VISCOUNT PALMERSTON

said, that no such document had been received by the Government from Mr. Buchanan. With regard to the other part of the question, due notice would be given as to the day when the subject of the convention would be brought before the House.
