§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELLasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, with reference to a telegram from Paris in the "Times" of November 24th, Whether Her Majesty's Government propose to agree to a prolongation, for a considerable period, of the powers of the International Tribunals in Egypt, on their present footing as regards jurisdiction over the Khedive and the revenues and lands of Egypt, and to advise or request the Egyptian Government to agree to such a prolongation without waiting for the settlement of the future constitution of that Country?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKESir, a proposal of the Egyptian Government is, at the present time, under the consideration of Her Majesty's Government. I do not think it desirable that I should at present state the purport of it.
