§ MR. STANLEY LEIGHTON (Shropshire, Oswestry)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can inform the House of the text of the arrangement made with France in 1882 for the payment, out of the so-called Cyprus Tribute, of the interest on the Turkish 1322 Loan (1855) guaranteed by England and France?
§ THE UNDER OF SECRETARY FOR THE STATE COLONIES (Mr. S. BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, PoplarNo formal arrangement in the nature of an agreement has been made with France; but an intimation was given to the French Government in 1882 that the surplus revenue of Cyprus would be applied for the present to meet the interest of the Turkish Loan.
