HC Deb 06 March 1882 vol 267 cc181-2
SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Mr. Errington is still residing at Rome as the medium of information between Her Majesty's Go- vernment and the Papal See under Lord Granville's letter of confidence; if so, how long Mr. Errington is to remain at Rome in this capacity; and, whether Her Majesty's Government still persist in refusing to place on record in the Foreign Office, in accordance with constitutional practice, the communications on public affairs between Her Majesty's Secretary of State and Mr. Errington?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

Sir, I have no further information to give to the House on this subject, having on four occasions fully stated the views of Her Majesty's Government. In regard to the latter part of the Question, as to whether Mr. Errington is still at Rome, Lord Granville has no information that he has left that city, neither has he any wish that he should. The length of Mr. Errington's stay depends entirely upon himself.

SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

gave Notice that he would take an opportunity of calling attention to the subject.
