LORD HOUGHTONasked the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Whether he could induce the French Government to cease to require clean bills of health from ships entering French ports from England, the fear of the existence of Asiatic cholera in this country having subsided?
§ THE EARL OF DERBYNo remonstrance or representation has been addressed to me upon the subject to which my noble Friend has referred since I have been connected with the management of Foreign Affairs. British subjects, when they find themselves aggrieved or inconvenienced by the action of foreign Governments, are not in general backward in appealing to the Foreign Office. All I can say is, that if any representation should be addressed to me I will give it careful attention.
§ House adjourned at Eight o'clock, till To-morrow, Half past Ten o'clock.
