Mr. Ballow ardently supported the Resolution. It was opposed by

Mr. W. Redmond in an utterly wrong-headed and unfair speech, which was listened to on both sides of the House with impatience. Ur. Grayson, the new Socialist Member, also opposed the grant. Sir Edward Prey pointed out the particular unfairness of the attacks on Lord Cromer in reference to the Denshawi incident. Lord Cromer was not in Egypt at the time, and did not even hear of it till the news had already reached the Government. The Resolution was carried by 254 votes to 107. On the same day in the House of Lords fiord Ripon moved a Resolution declaring concurrence with the other House in the grant, and this was carried with acclamation.
