§ MR. DONKIN (Tynemouth)asked the Undersecretary of State for Foreign 29 Affairs, Whether Her Majesty's Government have expressed any approval of the British Chamber of Commerce in Paris acting as agents for British exhibitors in the Paris Exhibition of 1889, and Directors of the British section there?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N.E.)Her Majesty's Government cannot express officially an approval of the Chamber acting in the capacity referred to without undertaking to sumo extent an undefined responsibility in connection with their proceedings. But they are glad that a Body so suitable is likely to supply any want that may be felt of local organization and direction.
