HC Deb 27 February 1885 vol 294 cc1597-8
MR. SERJEANT SIMON

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the International Conference on Foreign Judgments has arrived at any decision on the subject; if not, when the next meeting will take place?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

Her Majesty's Government are not aware that any meeting of the Foreign Judgments Conference has taken place at Rome. They were informed by the Italian Government, in October last, that the sanitary condition of Italy at that time, and the period which must necessarily elapse between the convocation and the meeting of the Conference, rendered it impossible that it should meet before February or March. No further information has reached them on the subject.
