HC Deb 09 April 1895 vol 32 c1289
SIR E. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, what steps Her Majesty's Government propose to take to secure the control of the Upper Nile Waterway?

SIR E. GREY

It is impossible to make a statement on this subject in answer to a question.

SIR E. ASHMEAD-BARTLETT

desired to know whether the French Government had informed Her Majesty's Government that no expedition had been sent to the Nile.

SIR E. GREY

I have nothing to add to what has been already said.
