LORD WHARNCLIFFEwished, before their Lordships adjourned, to ask Her Majesty's Government, a Question with regard to the approaching visit of the Viceroy of Egypt. It had been stated in the newspapers, and he had seen the statement with great regret, that no attempt would be made on the part of the Government or on the part of the country to give to a potentate, who had extended so much hospitality to our own countrymen, a reception worthy of his rank and position, but that the Viceroy would have to seek refuge in the house of his Consul at Blackheath. He wished to ask the intentions of Her Majesty's Government, and Whether the statement to which he referred was correct?
§ THE EARL OF MALMESBURYsaid, that the Viceroy of Egypt was not going to the house of his Consul. He had accepted the invitation of the Government, and during his stay in England he would receive all the honour to which he was entitled from his position, and the good feeling which this country entertained towards him.
§ House adjourned at half-past Six o'clock to Monday next Eleven o'clock.
