HC Deb 20 July 1894 vol 27 cc547-8
MR. HOGAN (Tipperary, Mid)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is now in a position to state the intentions of Her Majesty's Government with respect to the suggestion of arbitration in the case of the Costa Rica Packet that has been submitted by the Netherlands Government?

SIR E. GREY

The matter will have to be considered in consultation with the Law Officers of the Crown. I cannot make any further statement.
