HC Deb 20 May 1909 vol 5 c545
Mr. DILLON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he would lay upon the Table of the House a copy of the Press Law, which has lately been revived in Egypt?

Sir E. GREY

The law in question was laid before Parliament in 1882, and the hon. Member will find the text of it in Parliamentary Paper Egypt No. 5 of that year, from page 18 onwards. A reference to page 4 of Sir Eldon Gorst's last annual Report will show that it is only intended to revive those sections of the law which concern the registration and control of news-papers and the presses where they are printed.
