HC Deb 12 May 1884 vol 288 c28
LORD JOHN MANNERS

I wish to put a Question to the noble Lord the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. In the last Paper submitted to the House—"Egypt" No. 18—there was a statement from Sir Evelyn Baring that he considered it important to make the following remarks, and then came two paragraphs. I wish to ask if these two paragraphs constitute the whole of the remarks which Sir Evelyn Baring thought it necessary to make?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

The noble Lord will have observed that the despatch is marked "Extract," and does not purport to contain the whole of the communication.

LORD JOHN MANNERS

Then we may assume that the two final paragraphs do not contain the whole of what Sir Evelyn Baring thinks it important to state?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

There were some remarks of a confidential character which have not been issued.
