§ MR. M'COANasked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether it is yet too late to obtain from the Guaranteeing Powers, by exchange of notes or otherwise, so me recorded expression of their understanding that the Convention about to be submitted to the House does not create or impart any right of International interference with the administration of Egypt?
MR. GLADSTONEThis is not a question of time, or whether it is or is 677 not too late to do what the hon. Gentle-man suggests. But I will answer the Question in the observations I shall shortly have to make to the House.
