14. Mr. SWANasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it is His Majesty's Government or the Egyptian Government which is responsible for the continuance of martial law in Egypt?
Mr. HARMSWORTHThe declaration of His Majesty's Government to Egypt of 21st February, 1922, which has been laid before this House, clearly defines the circumstances which govern the continuance of martial law in Egypt.
Mr. SWANIs it the people who are in Egypt who are responsible for the continuance of martial law, or who is it? Cannot we have inquiry made as to who is responsible?
§ Mr. SPEAKERPerhaps the hon. Gentleman had better put a question on the Paper.
