HC Deb 09 April 1885 vol 296 c1166
MR. O'DONNELL

asked the noble Lord the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether it is true that The Bosphore Egyptien newspaper was seized at Cairo by the orders of Her Majesty's Government, in spite of the protests of the French Consul?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

The hon. Member had better put his Question on the Paper.

MR. O'DONNELL

said, he would give Notice of a Question on the subject.

MR. O'KELLY

asked whether this paper was not suppressed by the authorities at Cairo in an arbitrary manner, and without consultation with the French authorities?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAHRICE

Perhaps the hon. Member would also put his Question on the Paper.

MR. O'KELLY

Does the noble Lord mean to say he is not in possession of any information on the subject?
