HC Deb 03 November 1882 vol 274 c765
SIR WILFRID LAWSON

asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether his attention has been called to M. John Ninet's statement that, on Sir E. Malet's application that he should be released from prison in Egypt, he was sent on board the Egyptian steamer "Dakalieh," with papers falsely stating him to be an Ottoman subject bound for Smyrna; and, whether this was in accordance with the suggestion of Sir E. Malet, or any other English authority, as explained to M. Ninet by the Egyptian authorities?

SIR CHARLES W. DILKE

As I stated yesterday, this second letter of M. Ninet, which contains the statement in question, has been sent to Egypt for report.
