HC Deb 07 June 1880 vol 252 cc1330-1
MR. RICHARD

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If he will lay upon the Table of the House the Papers relating to the bombardment and destruction of the town of Batanga?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

Sir, there will be no objection to lay on the Table the Papers referred to by my hon. Friend; but there may be some little delay in presenting them, as Her Majesty's Government wish, if possible, to include in the Correspondence some further information which they have instructed the Senior Naval Officer on the station to supply.
