§ 4. Sir J. Wardlaw-Milneasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information regarding the communication forwarded to the foreign legations in Egypt by foreign lawyers practising in the consular and mixed courts, and drawing attention to the dangers to their interests of the recent proposals of the Egyptian Government; whether a similar representation has been made to the British Ambassador; and what action the Government are taking in the matter?
§ Mr. EdenI am aware that such a communication has been made to certain foreign legations in Egypt; His Majesty's Ambassador has also received a copy, and the attitude of His Majesty's Government is under consideration.
§ Sir J. Wardlaw-MilneMay I ask, as the point is not clear in the answer of my right hon. Friend, whether any representation has been received from British lawyers, or whether this is a copy of the representation from the foreign lawyers?
