§ 80. Mr. MILLSasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the number of members comprising the Egyptian Legislative Assembly, the nature of its present functions, and when it last met; whether a considerable number of those elected have since died or become otherwise ineligible; and whether these members have been replaced?
Mr. HARMSWORTHThe Egyptian Legislative Assembly consisted of 89 members; it has not met since 17th June, 1914, and the mandate of the present body expired in 1917. I understand that some of the members elected in 1913 have since died, and for the reason given above have not been replaced.
Mr. HARMSWORTHI cannot give the answer. Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will give me notice of that question.
