§ MR. ASHMEAD-BARTLETTasked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether it is true that Her Majesty's Government have agreed to place the finances of Egypt under International control, and to specifically limit the term of the British occupation of Egypt; and, whether the Conference is to meet upon this basis?
MR. GLADSTONEI really think, Sir, that after what I have said the hon. Gentleman may consider that I am fairly and reasonably dispensed from making any specific answer to his Question.
