§ MR. H. T. DAVENPORT (Staffordshire, Leek)asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, What are the facilities which this Government are prepared to afford at the coming Paris Exhibition to English exhibitors; and, whether he is aware of the importance which they attach to the appointment 885 by their Government of some person to assist and advise them and to protect their interests?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N.E.)The particular facilities to be afforded will depend chiefly upon the number and the wishes of intending exhibitors from this country; and steps will be taken to ascertain these when the arrangements for the Exhibition proposed to be held in 1889 shall have assumed a formal shape.
