HC Deb 10 July 1884 vol 290 cc680-1
BARON HENRY DE WORMS

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether a Despatch has been received, either from Her Majesty's Representative at Bucharest or from the Government of Roumania, relative to the measures taken to prohibit Jewish hawkers in that country from pursuing their calling, and to the refusal to receive petitions from them or grant them any legal redress, in contravention of Articles 43 and 44 of the Treaty of Berlin, which secures to them equal rights to those enjoyed by persons of other religions in that country; and, whether he will communicate the contents of such Despatch, or lay it upon the Table of the House?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

I have communicated privately to the hon. Member a copy of the despatch which has been received from Her Majesty's Minister at Bucharest. If he wishes it to be laid before the House, and will move for it, there will be no objection on the part of Her Majesty's Government to its publication.
