§ MR. KETTLE (Tyrone, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign 1750 Affairs whether, in the opinion of His Majesty's Government, the time has arrived for reducing the army of occupation in Egypt, which was increased to its present proportions in consequence of the Denshawai incident.
§ SIR EDWARD GREYThere was no increase of the army of occupation in Egypt in consequence of the Denshawai affair. The last decision to increase it was announced two months before that incident occurred. It is not proposed to alter it.
