SIR. GEORGE CAMPBELL&c.) (Kirkcaldyasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Her Majesty's Government are yet prepared to lay upon the Table any Papers to show what has been going on in Egypt, as distinguished from the Soudan, during the past 18 months, and especially—The fate of the self-governing institutions recommended by Lord Dufferin and decreed by the Khedive, and the reasons why they have not been fully carried out; the administration of justice and police, and the adverse criticisms of Mr. Justice West; the Revenue Administration, and the fate of the measures promised for the relief of the cultivators of Upper Egypt; the Domain Administration; the promised irrigation works; the claims of Natives to pensions, mokabileh, and other allowances; the formation of a Native army; the action of Sir H. D. Wolff since his arrival in Egypt?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. BRYCE) (Aberdeen, S.)The Correspondence to and from Egypt during the past 18 months will be examined with a view to the presentation of Papers on such of the subjects mentioned in the Question as have been sufficiently discussed to make the publication of Papers regarding them unobjectionable. This is the case with regard to several of the subjects mentioned, and Papers which deal with them may, it is hoped, be very shortly given to the House.
