§ 1. Mr. GINNELLasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, having regard to the fact that he was unaware of Egyptians having been deported on political grounds, whether his attention has been called to the discussion in the mixed Courts in Cairo of the question whether certain legal notices should be served on deported persons at their exile address or at their home address; whether he is now in a position to state the number of Egyptians deported from Egypt since the War began; the number in each place of detention; the treatment to which they are subject; and whether correspondence is allowed to and from them?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Lord Robert Cecil)I have no information as to the point raised in the hon. Gentleman's question.
§ Mr. GINNELLHow is it that the Foreign Office does not read matter with reference to Egypt which is submitted to them?
