§ SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFFasked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer. Whether Her Majesty's Government will lay upon the Table the Report of the Directors, and that of the general meeting held in January, of the Suez Canal Company, and also the Reports received by Her Majesty's Government from the English official Directors of the Company?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, in reply, said, he thought it would be a most convenient course to lay annually before Parliament such Reports connected with the proceedings of the Suez Canal Company as could properly be laid before Parliament. There were some communications of a confidential nature between the English directors and Her Majesty's Government; but such Reports as could be properly laid before Parliament would be.
