HC Deb 17 April 1893 vol 11 c438
MR. DISRAELI (Cheshire, Altrincham)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can conveniently give the House any information as to the conduct of the Mission under Sir West Ridgeway to Morocco; and whether the progress of diplomatic negotiations with the Sultan have been so far favourable to this country?

*SIR E. GREY

I have no special information to give in regard to Sir West Ridgeway's Mission. Our relations with the Moorish Government are not unsatisfactory, but we are not at present engaged in any negotiations with them.

MR. DISRAELI

Can the hon. Member say when the Papers will be laid on the Table?

SIR E. GREY

I cannot at present.

MR. J. W. LOWTHER (Cumberland, Penrith)

Is the Mission now at Tangier, or has it proceeded to the Sultan?

*SIR E. GREY

It remains at Tangier, and I am not aware that it has any immediate intention of proceeding to Fez.
