HC Deb 06 July 1874 vol 220 c1085
MR. BECKETT-DENISON

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If he will lay upon the Table of the House a Copy of the Correspondence received from the Governor of Singapore as to the war between the Dutch and the Sultan of Atchin, and of Correspondence with the Government of the Hague relative thereto; and, if it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to offer their mediation with a view to terminate the war?

MR. BOURKE

I learn, Sir, from the Colonial Office that there has been no Correspondence received from the Governor of Singapore which could usefully be communicated to the House. No Correspondence has passed with the Government of the Hague. No application for good offices having been received from either side, the question of mediation has not been entertained.
