§ Mr. JOHN O'CONNORI desire to ask the President of the Board of Trade a question, of which I have given him private notice: Whether any representations have been made by or on behalf of the traders, merchants, and manufacturers of Great Britain and Ireland or any of them in respect of the forthcoming Exposition of San Francisco? Has any desire been expressed by them or by any chambers of commerce for representation under official sanction at such exposition, and, if so, will the right hon. Gentleman publish the same?
Mr. BUXTONI only received notice of the question a short time ago, and I have not had time to find out how many representations have been made. I will find out and communicate direct to the hon. Member the information which he desires.
§ Mr. O'CONNORIf there are any representations, will the right hon. Gentleman publish them for the information of the House?
