HC Deb 06 March 1877 vol 232 c1449
LORD ROBERT MONTAGU

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If he has any objection, and, if so, what objection, to lay upon the Table the telegram from Lord Salisbury of January 8th, in which he reports that The Grand Vizier believes he can count upon the assistance of Lord Derby and Lord Beaconsfield, although warned in the strongest terms to the contrary, (referred to in Papers, Turkey II., No. 150)?

MR. BOURKE

The telegram referred to in the Question of the noble Lord refers to communications which were made confidentially by the Representatives of other Powers; and as those communications were made in confidence, in justice to the persons who were the the Representatives of other Powers they cannot be produced.
