MR. GORST

asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whether a General Officer of Marines will be appointed to take the command of the force of Royal Marines now in Egypt?

No, Sir; there is no intention to require the services of a general officer of Marines in Egypt; and, as a matter of fact, there is no force of Royal Marines now in Egypt.
