§ MR. O'REILLYasked Mr. Chanceller of the Exchequer, Whether there are at present any person or persons in the service of the Crown, or other British subjects serving, with the permission of the Crown in the naval or military forces of Turkey; whether Her Majesty's Government have considered the question of withdrawing such permission; and, whether any such permission will be granted in future?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER, in reply, said, that there were at present two officers who were formerly in the service of the Crown in the service of Turkey, and three in that of 126 Egypt. Those in the Turkish service were the Hon. Captain Hobart and Retired Naval Lieutenant Woods; while those in the service of Egypt were Retired Captain M'Killop, Retired Commander George Morris, and Retired Major James Morris, of the Royal Marines. No person in the military service of the Crown had permission to serve in the naval or military services of Egypt or Turkey. No question had been raised as to the withdrawal of the permission which had been given to the naval officers in question, and with regard to the future, it was impossible for the Government to give any information as to details.
