HC Deb 01 August 1881 vol 264 c363
MR. BOURKE

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, What measures have been proposed by the Government of France for improving the judicial system in Egypt; and, whether these proposals have been made in concert with England and the other Powers now represented upon the judicial tribunals in Egypt?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

No, Sir; no such measures have as yet been proposed; but Her Majesty's Government, in concert with the Government of France, are engaged at the present time in examining the result of the labours of the International Commission with a view to offer any observations that they may have to submit thereupon before the re-assembling of the Commission in November.
