HC Deb 23 March 1860 vol 157 c1153
MR. KINGLAKE

said, he rose to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether there will be any objection to lay upon the Table of the House the following papers relating to the proposed Annexation to France of Savoy and Nice, namely:—M. Thouvenel's last Despatch on that subject, the Answer of Her Majesty's Government thereto, and the Note recently addressed to Her Majesty's Government by the Government of Switzerland; and also (if they had been communicated) the protest addressed by the Swiss Government to the Government of France, and the answer of M. Thouvenel thereto?

LORD JOHN RUSSELL

said, that he thought it would be injurious to the public service that he should at present produce those papers.

MR. KINGLAKE

said, he wished to know when it was likely they could be produced?

LORD JOHN RUSSELL

said, he would answer that question on another day. He could not answer it at that moment.
