§ DR. SHIPMAN (Northampton)To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether it is proposed to give the British Representative at the forthcoming marriage of the King of Spain instructions similar to those given to Lord Napier of Magdala at the marriage of King Alphonso XII. in 1879, not to attend any bull fights which may form part of the festivities.
(Answered by Secretary Sir Edward Grey.) It does not appear from our records 159 that any instructions on this point were given to Lord Napier; and this occasion is not one on which instructions can be given by His Majesty's Government.
