HC Deb 23 February 1905 vol 141 c1098
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that in Egypt one-third of the children of the native population die, within twelve months if birth, and that another third die before they reach five years of age; and will he consider the expediency of suggesting to the Government of Egypt that some inquiry should be made with a view to arrest this heavy infant mortality.

THE UNDERSECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Earl PERCY, Kensington, S.)

No, Sir, we have no such information.
