§ *MR DILLON (Mayo, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to the report that it is the intention of the Egyptian Government to promote Ahmed Bey Fathy Zaglool, who acted as judge in the Denshawi affair, to a higher position; and whether he will direct His Majesty's representative in Egypt to advise the Egyptian Government against such action.
§ THE SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir Edward Grey,) Northumberland, BerwickHis Majesty's Government have no information on the subject one way or the other. It does not appear to be a matter in which His Majesty's Government are called upon to interfere with the discretion of the Egyptian Government.
§ MR. DILLONI beg to give notice that on the earliest possible day I shall raise this Question.
