HC Deb 16 March 1885 vol 295 c1229
MR. W. J. CORBET

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, with reference to the inquiry made into the alleged fraudulent claims of British subjects against Natives of Morocco, and the assurance he gave, in November last, that the matter would not be allowed to drop, Whether he will lay Mr. Pay ton's Report of the Casablanca investigation upon the Table of the House?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

Mr. Consul Payton reported on the conduct of a Consular official for the information of the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State, on receipt of the Report, discharged the official concerned; but it is not a public document, and could not properly be laid on the Table.
