§ 14. Mr. SPOORasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether there is to be an election in Egypt this year; and whether the political leaders of the Nationalist movement who have not been found guilty of any offence will be at liberty to take part in it?
Mr. HARMSWORTHAs I informed the hon. Member for Dartford on the 22nd June, the election of an Egyptian Parliament is a matter which solely concerns the Egyptian Government with whose intentions I am not acquainted. The electoral law of Egypt which has not yet been enacted will presumably determine the rights to be exercised by Egyptians.
