When will there be an opportunity of having a statement and a discussion on affairs in Egypt?

Mr. SHORTT

I cannot answer that question.

Mr. MacVEAGH

Can the right hon. Gentleman, as representing the Government, say whether any intelligence has yet reached the Government as to the whereabouts of the Chief Secretary for Ireland? Perhaps the Minister for Air will answer that question?
