HL Deb 13 February 1854 vol 130 cc484-5
THE EARL OF ELLENBOROUGH

wished to ask the noble Lord at the head of the Foreign Office, whether there was any objection on the part of Her Majesty's Government to lay before the House any communications which had taken place between our Government and those of Denmark, and of Sweden and Norway, with respect to the neutrality which those Powers proposed to maintain in the event of war in the Baltic?

THE EARL OF CLARENDON

There will be no objection to produce those papers—that is to say, the announcement made to Her Majesty's Government by those of Denmark, and of Sweden and Norway, with respect to the policy of neutrality which they intend to pursue, and the manner in which that policy is to be carried out; and also the answer which has been returned by Her Majesty's Government to that communication.

House adjourned till To-morrow.
