HC Deb 01 March 1883 vol 276 c1160
MR. MOLLOY

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, If the Return of "Foreigners having Special Contracts with the Egyptian Government," ordered by Lord Granville, on the 1st March 1882, to be forwarded for presentation to Parliament, and which the British Acting Consul General reported, on the 13th of March 1882, he "had not been able as yet to procure," has now been procured; if it has been procured, if it will now be presented to Parliament; if it has not been procured, what steps he intends to take to cause the order of Lord Granville to be obeyed?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

The precise Returns to which the hon. Member refers have not been received, and Sir Edward Malet's attention will be called to the matter; but a Parliamentary Paper (Egypt, No. 6, 1882) of a subsequent date to that from which he quotes contains full information with regard to the Europeans in the service of the Egyptian Government.
