HC Deb 24 July 1883 vol 282 c306
MR. BOURKE

With reference to the letter of M. de Lesseps, which is published in the newspapers of to-day, I wish to ask the right hon. Gentleman at the head of the Government whether any reply has been sent to that letter; and, if so, whether the reply will be included in the Papers which are to be presented to Parliament?

MR. GLADSTONE

Yes, Sir; a reply has been sent, and will be presented to the House.
