§ Mr. JOHN ROBERTSONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Egyptian Government still objected to having the Dervish prisoner Osman Digna examined by an independent medical expert as to his mental condition; and, if so, on what grounds the refusal is made?
§ Sir E. GREYI do not know whether the Egyptian Government do raise any objections, but I am satisfied that Osman Digna is being well treated, and it must be left to the Egyptian Government to decide whether such examinations are necessary or desirable.
