HC Deb 26 January 1886 vol 302 c424
MR. DILLON

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Under what authority, and by what Law, Zebehr Pasha is detained, a prisoner in Gibraltar; and, how it is proposed to hold him prisoner?

THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Colonel STANLEY)

Zebehr Pasha is detained in custody at Gibraltar under the authority of an Ordinance of the Legislature of Gibraltar, a copy of which is given in Parliamentary Paper 156 of April, 1885. I am not in a position to say how long he will be detained.
