§ Mr. FIELDasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that blackmail is levied on the employés by some of those in authority of the Egyptian State Railways; that the method adopted is the secretly forcing of employés to pay so much out of their wages each month under pain of being dismissed; and whether he will have inquiries made with a view to prevent such a practice?
§ Sir E. GREYIf the hon. Member has evidence of the prevalence of the practice I will send it for inquiry.
