HC Deb 18 March 1919 vol 113 cc1879-80
3. Mr. INSKIP

asked the Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether any Report has yet been received from His Majesty's High Commissioner in Egypt with reference to the case of an English barrister practising in Egypt who has been threatened by the Mixed Court of Appeal with the penalty of being struck off the rolls of the Mixed Court for having chambers both in Cairo and Alexandria; and what action it is proposed to take?

Mr. WARD

The Report which His Majesty's High Commissioner for Egypt has been instructed to furnish has not yet been received, and it is not possible, therefore, to state what action will be taken.

Mr. INSKIP

Can the hon. Gentleman undertake that no action shall be taken until the Report has been received?

Mr. WARD

I will communicate that to my right hon. Friend.
