§ MR. GIBSONasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Would he reprint and cause to be circulated the Convention relating to the Franco-English loan to Turkey in 1855, in order to enable the House to realise the significance (if any) of its being referred to in recent negotiations relative to the Egyptian financial proposals? He also wished to know whether the Convention contained any clause or term expressly dealing with the subject of international interference? [Parl. Papers, c. 4342, 4343.]
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICEYes, Sir; orders have been given for the Declaration and Convention relating to the loan in question to be reprinted without delay, and I have this afternoon laid them upon the Table.
§ MR. GIBSONCan the noble Lord say whether the Convention itself contains any term expressly dealing with international interference?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICEThe right hon. and learned Gentleman will perhaps be content to wait until he sees the Papers, which will be in his hands at once.
