HC Deb 11 December 1888 vol 331 c1772
MR. BUCHANAN (Edinburgh, W.)

asked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether the pay of the garrison at Suakin is defrayed, directly or indirectly, out of the British Exchequer; or out of what fund, and by whom, is it paid?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. E. STANHOPE)(who replied) said (Lincolnshire, Horncastle)

I understand this Question to refer to the permanent garrison at Suakin, the cost of which will be defrayed by the Egyptian Government.
