§ MR. LABOUCHERE (Northampton)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has 255 observed the statements in the Spanish newspapers that the Jesuit College in Barcelona is registered as belonging to British subjects, although there are neither English priests nor English collegians there, and that the same is the case with regard to the Jesuit College at Valencia; and that the British flag was raised over the latter college during the recent riots in that town; and whether he will cause inquiry to be made into this matter, in regard to which very strong protests are being raised by the Spanish Press?
§ *SIR J. FERGUSSONThe hoisting of the British flag over the Jesuits' College at Valencia has been reported to Her Majesty's Government by Her Majesty's Ambassador at Madrid, who states that the building appears to belong to a British subject. No representation on the subject has been made by the Spanish Government.
