HC Deb 21 July 1881 vol 263 cc1475-6
MR. M'COAN

asked, If there was any truth in the newspaper report of that day that Midhat Pacha was to be sent in exile to a place near Mecca?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

said, that up to 4 o'clock that afternoon no telegram had reached the Foreign Office to that effect.

MR. M'COAN

said, that he should repeat the Question on Monday, and if he did not then receive a satisfactory answer, he should move the adjourn- ment of the House, in order to afford an opportunity for expressing an opinion on the matter.
