§ MR. PULESTONasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether it is a fact, as telegraphed from Cairo, that it has been proposed that Lord Wolseley should be made Governor General of the Soudan, in place of the late General Gordon, and that Lord Wolseley himself approves of this plan, and that the necessity of adopting it has been urged upon Her Majesty's Government?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICELord Wolseley has not been appointed Governor General of the Soudan. It is not consistent with the public interest that I should enter into the confidential communications which may have passed 55 between him and Her Majesty's Government.
