HC Deb 24 March 1884 vol 286 c593
SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If Reports can be obtained from Her Majesty's Embassies and Legations in Europe on the system of tenure of dwelling houses in towns in the States where they reside; whether such houses are generally freehold or leasehold; and whether the system of letting land on long building leases prevails to any extent on the Continent?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

Sir, there will be no objection to furnish Her Majesty's Representatives with instructions in the sense desired, and the Reports when received will be laid on the Table of the House.
