§ MR. ANDERSON (Elgin and Nairn)asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether there has been any difference of opinion between Sir Evelyn Baring and the Egyptian Ministry respecting British interference in the administration of Egypt; and, whether any communication has been addressed to Sir Evelyn Baring, limiting in future that interference?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY of STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N.E.)As a matter of fact, there has lately been a certain difference of opinion in regard to certain details of administration; but not generally respecting British interference. Such interference is limited, as far as possible, to what appears to be necessary in the interests of this country and of Egypt; and there has been no occasion for fresh instructions of a general nature.
