HC Deb 27 October 1882 vol 274 c269
MR. J. HOLLOND

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the Government have received any communication from the Government of the Khedive as to the mode in which it is proposed to raise the money required to indemnify the sufferers from the burning of Alexandria for the loss of their property; and, whether it is proposed that a new loan shall be issued for the purpose; and, if so, whether any such fresh addition to the indebtedness of the Country would meet with the approval of Her Majesty's Government?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

Sir, the mode of raising the money which may be required for the indemnification at Alexandria has been under consideration; but no agreement has as yet been come to as to the precise mode of providing the funds.
