HC Deb 02 July 1863 vol 172 c68
LORD ROBERT CECIL

said, he wished to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he is willing to lay upon the table, without reserve, all Communications with respect to the detainer of the vessel Gibraltar, which have passed between any Officer or Department of the Government and the Collector of Customs at Liverpool?

SIR GEORGE GREY

replied, that the communication in question had been made, not to the Home Office, but to the Board of Customs. He did not think there would be any objection to lay on the table, if moved for, all the Correspondence that had taken place on the subject, not of course including the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown.
