§ LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILLWith respect to the negotiations with the Government of Turkey, will the right hon. Gentleman give a similar pledge to the House as he has given with respect to the negotiations with France — namely, that no Turkish troops shall be despatched to the Soudan before the terms of the negotiations with that Power are laid before Parliament?
MR. GLADSTONEI am not able really to say that there are negotiations with the Porte on this subject; but if the noble Lord likes to place the exact terms of his Question upon the Paper, I will take care to give him an answer.
