§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTEBefore the Sitting is suspended, I wish to put a Question to the Under Secretary of State—namely, Whether there is any truth in a report which has come by telegraph this evening, to the effect that Turkey has consented to send troops to Egypt?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEThe Turkish Government have not accepted the Identic Note of the Conference, but have stated that they consider the essence of that Note to be a proposal to send troops, and that they accept that proposal. It is entirely open to the Porte in to-morrow's Conference to discuss the conditions.
