HC Deb 30 April 1889 vol 335 c782
MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON (Dundee)

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the British Ambassador to France had been or would be instructed to attend the opening of the Paris Exhibition.

*SIR J. FERGUSSON

No such instruction has been given to the Ambassador, and as we are not taking part officially in the Exhibition such an instruction will not be necessary.
