HC Deb 12 February 1891 vol 350 c499
MR. SUMMERS (Huddersfield)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he will explain the circumstances under which Her Majesty's Ministers accepted the responsibility of becoming the medium through which the Memorial of the Lord Mayor and Citizens of London, on the subject of the treatment of the Jews in Russia, was returned to the Memorialists?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. H. SMITH, Strand, Westminster)

I am under the impression that the circumstances under which Her Majesty's Ministers accepted the responsibility mentioned in the question were sufficiently disclosed in the letter from the Under Secretary of State to the Lord Mayor.
