HL Deb 01 February 1878 vol 237 c817
THE MARQUESS OF RIPON,

respecting the complaint of his noble Friend (Earl Granville), a few evenings since, called the attention of the noble Duke the Lord President to the fact that the Papers referring to the Eastern Question, and most recently laid on the Tables of both Houses, were distributed to the Members of the House of Commons at an early hour this morning, but had not reached their Lordships as soon.

THE DUKE OF RICHMOND AND GORDON

said, that when on a recent occasion his noble Friend (Earl Granville) made a complaint on this subject, he inquired, and was informed, that the delay in the delivery of the Lords' Papers on that occasion was accidental. He would again make inquiry on the subject.
