MR. GORSTasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether a copy of the Despatch of Prince Bismarck to Count Munster, of May 5th 1884, has been at any time communicated to the Foreign Office; and, if so, whether Her Majesty's Government will endeavour to induce the Government of Germany to consent to its being published?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICEThe despatch was never communicated to us; but a portion of it was confidentially read to Lord Granville about 10 days ago. He is not aware of any public object in taking any further steps in the matter.
