HC Deb 09 March 1876 vol 227 c1707
SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Her Majesty's Government have entertained any proposal for taking part in an arrangement to enable the Khedive of Egypt to raise new loans, and charge them on the people of Egypt?

MR. BOURKE

In reply to my hon. Friend I have to state that the Answer given by the Prime Minister on Monday last substantially covers the whole ground involved in the Question of my hon. Friend, and, therefore, I cannot give him any other information than that conveyed in the Answer of the Prime Minister, to which I must refer him.

SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL

I beg to give Notice that I will take the first convenient opportunity of moving— That it is inexpedient that the British Government should take any part in facilitating the loan transactions of the Khedive of Egypt.
