MR. DILLON

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs when he will lay upon the Table the Papers promised in connection with the Denshawi affray, and the subsequent trials and executions.

(Answered by Mr. Runciman.) My right hon. friend hopes to be able to lay the Papers some time next week. The detailed account of the evidence will, however, not be included, as there has not yet been time to translate it.

MR. DILLON

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any, and, if so, what, further measures in addition to the executions, floggings, and imprisonments already carried into effect have been adopted against the villagers of Denshawi in consequence of the events of 13th June.

(Answered by Mr. Runciman.) The village of Denshawi has been deprived of an Omda and has been attached to the adjacent village of Abu Kullos. The former village watchmen have been dismissed, and other watchmen sent from Cairo to take their places.
