HC Deb 30 May 1895 vol 34 cc628-9
BARON HENRY DE WORMS (Liverpool, East Toxteth)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether he will obtain and lay before the House Reports as to the Bounties on Agriculture given by the Governments of Germany and Austria-Hungary, similar to the recently published Report on French Agriculture and Bounties furnished by Sir Joseph Crowe?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir EDWARD GREY,) Northumberland, Berwick

Information of the kind desired has already been received from Her Majesty's Embassy at Berlin, and will shortly be laid before Parliament as No. 361, Miscellaneous Series. In addition to this, Her Majesty's Embassies and Legations in all foreign countries have been instructed to furnish Reports on Bounties in general, and it is expected that these will include the question of Agricultural Bounties in Austria-Hungary.
