HC Deb 13 February 1880 vol 250 c588
SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Her Majesty's Government can now lay before the House the correspondence with Foreign Powers with regard to the ordinance under which extra-territorial jurisdiction of Foreign Consuls in Cyprus under the Capitulations is superseded, and Lord Salisbury's Despatch to Lord Lyons, No. 57, of the 16th of January 1879, which states the grounds on which the Government consider that the continuance of this Consular jurisdiction should not be permitted?

MR. BOURKE

I have had an opportunity of consulting my noble Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs with reference to the Question of the hon. Baronet, and he is of opinion that it would not be expedient at present to lay before the House the Correspondence to which the hon. Baronet refers.
