HC Deb 12 August 1901 vol 99 cc425-6
MR. JOHN REDMOND (Waterford)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether a date has been fixed for the hearing of the appeal in the case of Mr. Blunt's servants at Cairo, and whether in the meantime the prisoners will be released on bail.

*VISCOUNT CRANBORNE

His Majesty's Acting Agent and Consul General at Cairo telegraphed on the 6th instant that the hearing of the appeal had been postponed for a week at the request of the counsel for the defendants. His Majesty's Government have no information to enable them to answer the second part of the question.
