§ MR. BROCKLEHURSTasked the Tinder Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether it is the intention of the Government to lay upon the Table of the House, the Correspondence and Papers adverted to in the Queen's Speech between the English and French Governments relative to the termination of the Commercial Treaty of 1860; and, the Correspondence and details of the communications that have passed between the two Governments upon the compensatory and other duties under the Treaty of Commerce with France, signed on the 5th of November, 1872; together with the negotiations and proceedings of the Commissioners appointed thereon at Paris?
§ VISCOUNT ENFIELDSir, a great deal of the Correspondence relating to the termination of the Treaty of 1860 has become superseded by the recent course of events in France. Her Majesty's Government will, however, lay before the House before the end of the Session, the Reports of the proceedings of the Tariff Commission at Paris, and such other Papers as may be of interest and can properly be communicated to the House without interference with the negotiations now being undertaken at Paris.
