HL Deb 29 February 1884 vol 285 c206
THE EARL OF LIMERICK

asked the noble Earl the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether there was any truth in the report which had been circulated during the day that fighting had been going on since 7 o'clock in the morning?

EARL GRANVILLE

, in reply, said, he had seen a Reuter's telegram which stated that there was a vague—he believed the word "vague" was used—report at Cairo that fighting had been going on this morning at El Teb, but that nothing confirmatory of this had been received. As far as Her Majesty's Government were concerned they had no information at all.

House adjourned at Six o'clock, to Monday next, a quarter before Eleven o'clock.
