HC Deb 20 June 1882 vol 270 c1758
SIR. H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, If he can state what steps were taken by Sir Beau-champ Seymour, and Her Majesty's ships under his command, last Sunday, the 11th of May, for the protection of British life and property at Alexandria; and, whether Her Majesty's Government nourish the belief that the repetition of such steps will be sufficient to preserve British interests in that City in case of the renewal of disturbances?

MR. CAMPBELL - BANNERMAN

Sir, the hon. Member yesterday addressed this identical Question to my hon. Friend the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs. I have nothing to add to the answer then given by my hon. Friend.

SIR H. DRUMMOND WOLFF

The Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs yesterday did not give me a satisfactory answer. I shall continue asking this Question until I do get one.
