HC Deb 17 April 1863 vol 170 c306
MR. BAILLIE COCHRANE

said, he would beg to ask, Whether the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs will lay on the table of the House the precise words of the Telegram or the Despatch which authorized Mr. Elliot, on the 29th of March, to give information to the National Assembly which led to the unanimous Election of Prince William of Denmark to the Throne of Greece?

MR. LAYARD

said, in reply, that, for obvious reasons, telegrams were never published; and, with respect to despatches, it would be most inconvenient at the present moment, while negotiations were going on, to lay fragmentary papers on the table of the House.
