§ Mr. JOHN ROBERTSONasked whether a contract was entered into between a company and the Egyptian Government to reclaim land at the Western Oasis; whether the company undertook, in the event of their failing in their reclamation, that the land should revert to the Government; whether they have failed to reclaim any land, and yet have been allowed to retain all; and whether they merely built a railway which the Government has taken over at a cost of £125,000?
§ Sir E. GREYI have no information on this subject, but I will enquire whether any information is available.
