HC Deb 13 April 1893 vol 11 c206
MR. GIBSON BOWLES

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in presenting to Parliament Despatches relating to foreign affairs, it is the practice to present such Despatches without any alteration or omission of passages therein; or whether, before such Despatches are printed, alterations are made in or passages struck out of them?

SIR E. GREY

In eases where it would be contrary to the interests of the Public Service to lay the whole of a Despatch extracts are given, but it is not the practice to make any alterations in Despatches.
