HL Deb 08 March 1880 vol 251 cc546-7
LORD CAMPBELL

said, that with reference to the Resolution which stood in his name, to call attention to the policy of Her Majesty's Government on the Eastern Question since the autumn of 1874, he had received an intimation from the First Lord of the Treasury that it would conduce to the public advantage if he would postpone bringing it before the House until the return of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. In deference, therefore, to the noble Earl's wish, he would postpone his Resolution, although he did so not without reluctance.
