HC Deb 04 April 1878 vol 239 c532
MR. GLADSTONE

I beg to give Notice that to-morrow evening, on going into Committee of Supply, I shall inquire, Whether Her Majesty's Government required of Russia that she should undertake, before the assembling of the Congress, not to withdraw therefrom before the discussion of any proposal which any Power may make at the Congress; and, whether they intend to place their own liberty of withdrawal under a similar limitation? If my right hon. Friend chooses to answer the Question now, it will save him and me trouble tomorrow.
