§ MR. DIXON-HARTLANDasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether France has made any proposal to place the enforcement of the various regulations agreed upon by the Suez Canal Commission, now sitting at Paris, under the control of an International Committee, consisting of the Consuls of the European Powers who 358 are represented at Cairo; and, if so, whether such a proposal is an infraction of Lord Granville's proposals, in accordance with which this House was assured the Commission was to conduct its deliberations; and, whether the introduction of any such proposal will lead to the immediate withdrawal of the English delegates from the Commission?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICEI must refer the hon. Member to the reply which the Prime Minister yesterday gave to a similar Question.
