§ SIR JOHN HAYasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, On what grounds His Highness the Khedive has been advised to withdraw his support from Lady Strangford's hospital at Cairo; whether that hospital has not been exceedingly useful both to the Native and European population; whether it was established under the direction of British medical officers, with a staff of British nurses, at the request of and under the protection of His Highness; and, whether it has proved itself more valuable than the Native hospitals?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICEHer Majesty's Government have no information on this subject, which is entirely within the competence of the Egyptian Government; but I have no objection to sending a copy of the right hon. and gallant Member's Question privately to Sir Evelyn Baring.
