§ SIR GEORGE CAMPBELL (Kirkcaldy, &c.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is true that Her Majesty's Government have made proposals involving the committal of this country to a permanent Protectorate of Egypt in the shape of a Convention, giving the British Government the exclusive right to interfere in the event of internal or external danger; and, if so, whether Parliament will be consulted before such a duty is undertaken?
* THE UNDER. SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir J. FER-GUSSON,) Manchester, N.E.Her Majesty's Government have made no proposals for a Convention.
