HC Deb 12 April 1864 vol 174 c876
MR. BERNAL OSBORNE

said, he rose to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to be good enough to inform him, Whether Her Majesty's Government have any objection to lay on the table the Despatch of the French Government of the 30th of March, suggesting that the wishes of the population of Schleswig and Holstein should be consulted; also, whether he will lay on the table the answers to the invitation to join the Conference about to assemble, which has been sent out by Her Majesty's Government?

MR. LAYARD

, in reply, said, with regard to the first part of the hon. Member's question, that to the best of his belief that despatch was only read and not communicated in copy to Her Majesty's Government. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman would repeat his question to-morrow, and he would then be able to answer it.

MR. BERNAL OSBORNE

said, he wished for an answer to his second question.

MR. LAYARD

said, he would request the hon. Gentleman to repeat that question also to-morrow.
