§ MR. O'DONNELLasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If he has been informed that seven lots of Egyptian domain land were sold on the 15th inst. to Baron Menasce for £84,000; what was the extent of land comprised; and, whether any conditions of resale to Egyptian cultivators were attached to the purchase; and, if not, whether Lord Dufferin has been instructed to call the attention of the Khedive's Government to the matter?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICESir, this question was answered in the last paragraph of the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for the Kilmarnock Burghs (Mr. Dick-Peddie) on Monday. I may, however, add that it is believed that the sales referred to were confined to house property in Alexandria, of which the extent is not known, and were in accordance with the Decree which I quoted.
