HC Deb 25 July 1912 vol 41 c1326
6. Mr. DILLON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has now received a full report on the alleged assassination plot in Egypt, and, if so, whether he will communicate it to the House; and whether he can slate before what tribunal and under what law the accused will be tried?

Sir E. GREY

I cannot receive further information till the Procureur-General's Report is completed. I understand that the trial will take place in public before the Assize Court.

Mr. DILLON

Will the right hon. Gentleman answer the last part of the question? I wish to know whether the accused will be tried under the ordinary law.

Sir E. GREY

I will make inquiry on that particular point. I assume that it is an Assize Court administering the ordinary law. If the hon. Gentleman wishes to know under what provision of the ordinary law the accused will be tried, I will make inquiry.
