HC Deb 22 April 1887 vol 313 c1628
MR. HENNIKER HEATON (Canterbury)

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Her Majesty's Government have any objection to lay upon the Table of the House, the Correspondence relating to Mr. Clifford Lloyd's removal from Egypt, which the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs stated in the House on July 3rd, 1884, was owing to certain painful differences of opinion between Mr. Lloyd and various high officials, both English and Egyptian?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N. E.)

I must object to lay upon the Table the Correspondence relating to Mr. Clifford Lloyd's return from Egypt. He was not removed, but left it on the expiration of his leave of absence from Ireland, during which he was temporarily employed in Egypt. The "painful differences" mentioned by my Predecessor in no way affected his high character, or detracted from the excellence of his work.
