§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the policy of His Majesty's Government in regard to Egypt is still as indicated in Lord Granville's despatch to Sir Evelyn Baring, of 4th January, 1884, to the effect that, in important questions where the administration and safety of Egypt are at stake, it should be made clear to Egyptian Ministers and Governors of Provinces that His Majesty's Government must insist on the adoption of the policy which they recommend, and that it will be necessary that those Ministers who do not follow this course should cease to hold their offices.
§ LORD CRANBORNEThere is no change in the policy of His Majesty's Government with regard to Egyptian administration.
