HC Deb 12 March 1885 vol 295 cc853-4
MR. BOURKE

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether the Government can lay upon the Table any Despatch supporting the statement of Prince Bismarck, that upon several occasions he had been asked to tender "advice or a hint" to the English Government as to how it should deal with Egypt, or as to what it might do in Egypt which would at the same time meet with the approval of Prince Bismarck?

LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICE

Her Majesty's Government do not propose to lay any more Papers, whether of the time of the late or of the present Administration, relating to the controversy in question.
