HC Deb 22 May 1900 vol 83 c934
* SIR CHARLES DILKE

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Portuguese law of this year, granting to a British company landing rights for the new cables, continues to stipulate that all those employed at the office in the Azores shall be Portuguese.

MR. BRODRICK

No copy of the law has yet been received, but Her Majesty's Minister at Lisbon will be asked to send one.
