§ BARON HENRY DE WORMSgave Notice that he would ask, Whether the Government, having proposed to the Powers a Conference on the affairs of Egypt generally, the German Government had declined that proposal; and, 277 whether, in consequence of that refusal, the Government had decided that the proposed Conference should be confined to the financial affairs of Egypt?
MR. GLADSTONEIt may be irregular in me, but I may save the hon. Gentleman trouble by saying that there is no truth whatever in the statements referred to in his Notice.
