§ Mr. JOHN ROBERTSONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the surplus of revenue announced in the last Egyptian Budget, he would urge upon the Egyptian Government the expediency of making better provision for the policing of Cairo and for the reconstruction of the police system throughout Egypt?
§ Sir E. GREYIt is clear from Sir Eldon Gorst's Report for 1908 that the Egyptian Government are fully alive to the urgency of the question referred to, and I do not consider that the interference of His Majesty's Government is necessary on the subject.
