HC Deb 01 June 1863 vol 171 c179
SIR MINTO FARQUHAR

said, he wished to ask, Whether the Government proposed to lay on the table further papers in reference to Brazil?

MR. LAYARD

said, he had that afternoon laid on the table further papers on the subject.

MR. SEYMOUR FITZGERALD

said, it was only within a very short time he had heard—and; he had heard it with great regret—that Diplomatic relations had been interrupted between this country and Brazil. Under the circumstances, he was anxious to know whether the Government would lay on the table any additional Papers relative to the misunderstanding with Brazil, so that the House might be able to form an early judgment as to the state of affairs.

MR. LAYARD

said, he must repeat the statement which he had made in the absence of the hon. Gentleman, to the effect that additional Papers had already been laid on the table.
