HC Deb 22 July 1881 vol 263 c1611
Mr. O'SHEA

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Papers relating to the negotiation of a Commercial Treaty between Great Britain and Spain will be laid before Parliament during the present Session?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

I doubt whether the negotiations will have sufficiently advanced to allow the Correspondence on the subject to be laid before Parliament during the present Session without injury to the Public Service.
