MR. FREVILLE-SURTEESsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether any Correspondence has taken place between the Foreign Office and Her Majesty's Consul General in Egypt relative to the claims on the Viceroy of the shareholders of the Société Agricole et Industrielle d'Egypte; and, if so, whether he would have any objection to present the Correspondence?
LORD STANLEYreplied, that a Correspondence had taken place on the subject referred to in his hon. Friend's Question. It had not yet been concluded, and though, as far as the Foreign Office was concerned, there was no objection to its production, he did not think it would be in the interest of the parties concerned to publish it in its present state.
