§ SIR STAFFORD NORTHCOTEI beg to ask the Prime Minister, Whether there is any truth in the report that negotiations are going on for the purpose of assembling a Conference on some of the affairs of Egypt; and, whether it would be possible to state the purposes for which that Conference is to be assembled?
MR. GLADSTONEI think that is a Question which I may fairly ask the right hon. Gentleman to place on the Notice Paper. I will communicate with my noble Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on the subject.
