§ MR. LABOUCHEREasked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether Omar Sufki Pacha, now Egyptian Minister of War, is the same Pacha who was Governor of Alexandria when the massacres occurred in that town, and who took no steps to hinder them until the Foreign Consuls had telegraphed to the Khedive and to Dervish Pacha, informing them of what was transpiring?
§ LORD EDMOND FITZMAURICEThe present Egyptian Minister for War, Omar Sufki Pasha, was Governor of Alexandria at the time of the riots. Her Majesty's Government have no information connecting him with the massacres, but my hon. Friend will find all information on the subject in the Parliamentary Paper, "Egypt," No. 16, pages 5, 6, 9, and 11, which was laid before Parliament at the close of last Session.
