HC Deb 25 June 1888 vol 327 c1126
MR. BRADLAUGH (Northampton)

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether he can now give the promised information as to the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir Join GORST) (Chatham)

I am sorry to say that the Indian mail has arrived; but it has not brought the Papers relating to this matter.

MR. BRADLAUGH

Will the hon. Gentleman say how it was that a few weeks ago he informed the House that he had reason to believe the documents were on the way?

SIR JOHN GORST

My reason was that I was told so.
