I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can inform the House, with regard to the proposed national University for Egypt, what sum of money has been subscribed; whether any Egyptian students have been sent to Europe to qualify as professors, and in what subjects; whether the Egyptian Government is giving any grant of money and exercising any authority; and whether the present schools of law, medicine, agriculture, and engineering, etc., will be included.

I beg to refer the hon. Member to the Answer which I returned on 4th June to a Question asked on the subject by the hon. Member for East Tyrone. I have no later information; as soon as any is forthcoming I shall be glad to make it known.
