HC Deb 07 August 1884 vol 292 cc98-9
MR. SERJEANT SIMON

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the International Conference on the subject of the execution of Foreign Judgment, to which we were invited by the Italian Government, has taken place; and, if so, with what results?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

Her Majesty's Government acceded to the proposal of the Italian Government that a preliminary examination of this subject, on the basis of the Resolutions adopted at Milan, in 1883, by the Association for the Reform and Codification of International Law, should take place at Rome by a Conference of official delegates from various Governments; but no meeting of that Body has yet taken place.
