HC Deb 12 February 1900 vol 78 cc1234-5
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will state the nature of the treatment accorded to Osman Digna at present, and how it is intended to treat him in future.

* MR. BRODRICK

We have no information as to the nature of the treatment accorded to Osman Digna beyond the statement which was communicated to the Egyptian press and reproduced in the papers here. This was to the effect that Osman Digna would be taken to Rosetta, and there interned with the other Dervish prisoners.
