HL Deb 28 April 1885 vol 297 c939
THE MARQUESS or SALISBURY

I wish to ask the noble Earl opposite (Earl Granville), Whether any information or Papers will be laid before the House in reference to a matter which has occupied so much of the attention of the public—that of The Bosphore Egyptien?

EARL GRANVILLE

The Papers will be laid upon the Table immediately a final settlement is arrived at. I have no reason to doubt the announcement made yesterday by my noble Friend the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, as to the probability of an agreement with France being arrived at.
