§ 39. Dr. CHAPPLEasked the Prim: Minister what privileges and concessions are extended by the British Government to Mr. Howard Carter in his work of exploration in Egypt; and whether, in return for any State advantages or protection extended, any condition is attached requiring that the facts of the discoveries and the photographs and lantern slides made shall not be withheld from the public, but shall be made available for the instruction and interest of all?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo privileges or concessions are extended by His Majesty's Government to Mr. Howard Carter in his excavation work in Egypt, which is that of a private individual and subject to the provisions of the Egyptian Law of Antiquities. The last part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
