§ SIR CHARLES FORSTERasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether deputations from trading communities can be received now that the proceedings of the French Commissioners have been suspended; and, if not, whether any facilities can be afforded for making representations as to the manner in which particular trades will be affected by the proposed Treaty?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEThe sittings of the Royal Commission for the purpose of receiving deputations are for the present suspended; but the Commissioners will be very happy to receive any written representations which particular trades may have omitted to send in.
