Mr. SWANasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the military court in Cairo which condemned an Egyptian to death on the 14th June for being found in possession of weapons, who was found guilty of no other offence, acted under the British military proclamation prohibiting Egyptians to possess firearms?
