§ 6. Lord H. CAVENDISH-BENTINCKasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the failure of martial law in Egypt, the Government will entrust to an Egyptian Government the task of maintaining law and order; and whether, in order that a government may be established in Egypt which has the confidence of the Egyptian people, it will release Zaghloul Pasha?
§ Mr. McNEILLWhen an Egyptian Ministry has undertaken the task of government and has shown its ability to maintain law and order, the Noble Lord's suggestion may be considered.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYWhat steps are being taken to give the Egyptian Government an opportunity of showing that it can keep law and order?
§ Mr. McNEILLIf the hon. and gallant Member had been in the House recently he would have heard a number of explanations.
