§ MR. ONSLOWasked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether the refugees on board the ships provided by Her Majesty's Government are to be landed at any place they may select; and, whether, whilst on board, they are to pay for their own living?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANSir, we have no doubt that Sir Beau-champ Seymour, in communication with the Consular authorities, is taking all necessary steps, and making the necessary arrangements in this matter; but we have no detailed information on the subject.
§ MR. ONSLOWI wish to ask what are those steps, particularly with regard to payments by refugees?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI have already said that Sir Beauchamp Seymour, in communication with the Consular authorities, is the proper person to decide such questions, and although the hon. Member asked the same Question the other day, I cannot conceive that at this moment it would be desirable for us, when Sir Beauchamp Seymour is the responsible person, to trouble him with telegraphic inquiry on such a subject.
§ MR. ONSLOWAs this is to a certain extent a financial Question, I shall repeat it to the right hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Thursday.
