HC Deb 13 May 1909 vol 4 cc1991-2
Mr. RAMSAY MACDONALD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if Mr. H. C. Ross had to leave the Egyptian Sanitary Service owing to his zeal for stamping out malaria; and if that is not the reason would he inform the House of it?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

Mr. H. C. Ross was never in the permanent employment of the Egyptian Department of Public Health. He resigned his temporary post under that Department when he learned that the Director-General was not prepared to promise him a permanent post in the Inspectorate in Cairo.
