HC Deb 18 April 1907 vol 172 c1140
DR. RUTHERFORD

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, seeing that under the new Pharmacy Law of Egypt no power of search or seizure is given, he will advise the Egyptian Government to amend the law so as to create such powers as regards natives, who form the great majority of the illicit vendors of poisons.

SIR EDWARD GREY

It is not a case in which His Majesty's Government can interfere with the discretion of the Egyptian Government.
