HC Deb 16 April 1874 vol 218 c628
MR. W. LOWTHER

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If there has been any settlement of the dispute between the Egyptian Government and the Alexandria and Ramlegh Railway Company?

MR. BOURKE

The Papers laid on the Table last year will show what was the state of the question at that time. Since then two letters have been addressed by the Directors of the Company to Lord Granville in September and October last. They do not materially affect the position of the controversy, and since that time there has been no change, as far as we know, in the state of affairs. No reference has been addressed on the subject to the present Government.
