HC Deb 28 March 1878 vol 239 cc116-7
SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Her Majesty's Government have in any degree departed from their previous resolution not to interfere between the Khedive of Egypt and his creditors?

MR. BOURKE

Sir, there has never been any intention on the part of Her Majesty's Government to interfere officially between the Khedive of Egypt and his creditors; but they have intimated that they are willing to allow Mr. Rivers Wilson to take part in an inquiry which they understand is about to be instituted by the Khedive.
