HC Deb 13 April 1885 vol 296 cc1468-9
MR. O'DONNELL

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the French Government has protested against the suppression of The Bosphore Egyptien; and, whether that newspaper will be allowed to re-appear?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

No official representations have been made to Her Majesty's Government on the subject; but they are aware that the French Government regard the act of the Egyptian Government as illegal. In reply to the second portion of the hon. Member's Question, we have no information as to the future.
