HC Deb 19 March 1908 vol 186 c758
MR. HAVELOCK WILSON (Middlesbrough)

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to the complaint of the crew of the steamer "Egyptian," who allege that whilst the vessel was at the port of Alexandria they were refused permission to go outside of the docks without a pass from the master of the vessel in their own time; and whether he can say what regulations there are in existence at Alexandria which makes it obligatory on the part of seamen to have a pass or order before they can have permission to go outside of the dock gates in their own time.

(Answered by Secretary Sir Edward Grey.) I have received a Report on the subject, the substance of which I shall be happy to communicate to the hon Member.
