HC Deb 20 April 1882 vol 268 c1029
MR. SEXTON

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the Government have asked the Government of the United States to undertake that, in the event of the release of the "suspects" claiming the rights of American citizenship, they would go, and remain, out of Ireland, or out of the United Kingdom; whether the American Government refused to give any such undertaking on the subject; whether, since the refusal in question, the United States Minister here has demanded that these suspects be at once released or put on trial; and, whether any Member of the Government is now in communication with the United States Minister in reference to the subject?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

Sir, I can only repeat the answer which I gave to the hon. Member on Tuesday last—namely, that I think it would be very inconvenient to make, in reply to this Question, any statement that would necessarily be an imperfect statement, as Papers will be very speedily laid on the Table.

MR. JOSEPH COWEN

asked whether the Papers would be laid on the Table next week?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

said, he could not state the exact date.
