HC Deb 11 June 1883 vol 280 cc228-9
MR. NORWOOD

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether the assent of M. de Lesseps has been ob- tained to the laying upon the Table of the House Copies of the communications that have passed between the Administration of the Suez Canal Company and Her Majesty's Government as to the construction of a second Canal; and, if so, to inquire when the House may expect to be in possession of those communications?

MR. GLADSTONE

We find that we are not at present in a position to publish the Correspondence to which reference is made in the Question.
