§ MR. ARTHUR ARNOLDasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Her Majesty's Government concur with the definition, by Lord Salisbury, in his Despatch of August 13th 1879, of the Sultan of Turkey as "Suzerain" of Egypt?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEAccording to the Firmans, the Sultan is, undoubtedly, Sovereign of Egypt, and he acted as such at the time of the deposition of the late Khedive. The word "Suzerain" is, however, often loosely used.
