§ MR. F. S. STEVENSON (Suffolk, Eye)asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he is now in a position to inform the House when Moukhtar Pasha will leave Egypt?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N.E.)No, Sir, I cannot give any information on the subject.
§ MR. F. S. STEVENSONasked, whether Her Majesty's Government had taken any steps to induce the Porte to procure the speedy withdrawal of Moukhtar Pasha from Egypt?
§ SIR JAMES FERGUSSONI think the House will see that it would be a very grave matter to put pressure on the Porte to withdraw its officer from a part of its own territory.
