HC Deb 12 June 1888 vol 326 c1830
MR. JOHN MORLEY (Newcastle-upon-Tyne) (for Mr. BRYCS) (Aberdeen, S.)

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether it is the fact that Nubar Pasha has retired from the service of the Khedive of Egypt, and that Riaz Pasha has undertaken the formation of a Ministry; and, if so, who are the members of that Ministry so far as now complete; and whether Her Majesty's Government has taken any, and, if so, what part in advising the formation of a new Ministry in Egypt?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON) (Manchester, N.E.)

It is true that Nubar Pasha has retired, and that Riaz Pasha has undertaken the formation of a Ministry. Sir Evelyn Baring has reported by telegraph that the Ministry has been constituted; but we are not yet officially informed of the names of its members. Her Majesty's Government have taken no part in bringing about the change of Ministry.
