HC Deb 25 July 1879 vol 248 c1300
SIR JULIAN GOLDSMID

asked, Whether an opportunity would be given for the discussion on the interference of the Government in Egyptian affairs?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

thought, considering the great pressure of Public Business upon them, that the hon. Gentleman should find an opportunity himself for bringing the question forward. There would probably be plenty of opportunities between that day and the close of the Session for introducing a discussion on Egyptian affairs.

MR. GOSCHEN

asked, Whether any other Business than the Vote in Supply referred to would be brought forward on Tuesday?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

said, he would repeat that he would take ordinary Supply on Tuesday, and perhaps the Public Works Loans Bill.

SIR JULIAN GOLDSMID

reminded the right hon. Gentleman that he had promised to give an opportunity for discussing the Egyptian question, if private Members wished for it.

SIR HENRY SELWIN-IBBETSON

said, the hon. Baronet might find an easy opportunity on the Appropriation Bill.

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE

remarked, that the Navy Estimates had never, during his recollection, been postponed to so late a period of the Session. They were generally brought on earlier.
