HC Deb 27 February 1922 vol 151 c40
81. Mr. SWAN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has any information to the effect that on the day following the arrest of the eight members of the Egyptian Nationalist delegation, in the third week in January, 1922, the mixed bar in Cairo, composed of Egyptians and Europeans, went on strike as a protest against the repressive measures in Egypt?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

The answer is in the negative.

Mr. SWAN

Has the hon. Gentleman not had inquiries from all parts protesting against the arrest of the delegation?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

That is an entirely different question. If the hon. Gentleman requires an answer to that, perhaps he will be good enough to put it down.
