HC Deb 23 February 1882 vol 266 c1369
SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether, without detriment to the public interest, he can inform the House if there is any reason to apprehend a disturbance of peaceful relations between the Empire of Russia and the Empires of Austria-Hungary and Germany; and, if so, whether Her Majesty's Government have taken, or will take, any steps, by mediation or otherwise, to avert so grave a calamity?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

Her Majesty's Government do not apprehend any such disturbance; and, consequently, there has been no occasion for them to take steps of the kind suggested by the hon. Member.
