HC Deb 30 November 1911 vol 32 c559
Mr. MARK SYKES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether any persons have been arrested in Egypt for endeavouring to join the Turkish forces in Tripoli; and, if so, will he state whether these persons were Ottoman or Egyptian subjects?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir E. Grey)

No arrests have been made.

Mr. WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received any account of the bombardment of Akaba, on the Egypto-Turk frontier; and whether the property of Egyptians or British subjects has suffered damage?

Sir E. GREY

I have been informed that the bombardment took place, but have received no details. Lord Kitchener will report on this subject when local inquiries have been completed.
