§ MR. LABOUCHEREasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether he has observed the statement in a telegram from Cairo, in the "Times" of November 22nd, in which it is stated that 450 Albanians, who are now in Alexandria, are to be incorporated into the Police Force of Egypt; and, whether Her Majesty's Government have been consulted on the employment of Albanians in the Egyptian Force; and, whether that Force is largely composed of foreigners?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKEIn answer to the last 'portion of the hon. Member's Question, I may say that a certain portion of the Police Force is composed of foreigners. Her Majesty's Government learnt that it was intended to enrol in the Egyptian urban police large numbers of Albanians; but, owing to the representations made on the subject by Lord Dufferin, the scheme will not be carried out.
