HC Deb 12 August 1881 vol 264 c1714
MR. LABOUCHERE

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he would instruct Her Majesty's Representatives abroad to report upon the political oaths or affirmations exacted from the Members of Foreign Legislative Assemblies, and upon the mechanical modes by which votes are taken in Foreign Legislative Assemblies; and, whether he would lay these Reports, when obtained, upon the Table of the House?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

Sir, there will be no objection to calling for the Reports which my hon. Friend requires.
