HC Deb 24 March 1892 vol 2 cc1689-90
CAPTAIN GRICE - HUTCHINSON (Aston Manor)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any correspondence has taken place with any person or persons relating to the passage of petroleum in bulk ships through the Suez Canal; and, if so, whether he will lay it upon the Table of the House?

MR. J. W. LOWTHER

Correspondence has taken place with various Shipping Associations, Chambers of Commerce, and others, and it seems hardly necessary to re-publish a correspondence, parts of which have from time to time appeared in the Press, and all of which has already been brought to the notice of the parties interested, and the subject of which has been published in the Board of Trade Journal of February.
