HC Deb 24 February 1881 vol 258 c1657
MR. W. FOWLER

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether, having regard to the proposed resumption of specie payments by Italy, and the bearing of that proposal on the important question of the use of silver as money, he would be willing to lay upon the Table any despatches received by our Government in relation thereto, together with the pamphlet of the Italian Ministers S.S. Magliani and Miceli, and any other papers illustrative of the same subject'?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

Reports with regard to the proposed resumption of specie payments in Italy have been received from Her Majesty's Ambassador at Rome, and will be laid on the Table of the House. The pamphlet to which my hon. Friend refers has not been received; but inquiry will be made respecting it.
