THE EARL OF KIMBERLEYI understand that the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in the other House, somewhat in advance of his Chief, has read three telegrams on the subject of the proposed advance of Egyptian troops in the Soudan. If I am correct in that view, perhaps the noble Marquess would like to be favoured with an opportunity to read those telegrams to your Lordships?
THE PRIME MINISTERMr. Curzon has, for the benefit of Mr. Morley, selected three telegrams which can be communicated without harm. Undoubtedly the noble Lord is quite right, according to the doctrine laid down by Lord Rosebery, in having this information supplied to your Lordships, and I think it ought to be done. The noble Marquess then read the telegrams which had been read previously by Mr. Curzon in the Lower House.
§ House adjourned at a quarter past Seven o'clock to Thursday next, a quarter past Ten o'clock.
