HC Deb 21 March 1917 vol 91 cc1939-40W
Mr. W. THORNE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware that the Egyptian authorities have refused to allow any reference to be printed in the Egyptian newspapers concerning the book entitled, "With Kitchener in Cairo"; and if he intends taking any action in the matter?

Mr. BALFOUR

As regards the first part of the hon. Member's question, I have no information. As regards the second part, the matter referred to would be one for the discretion of the Egyptian authorities.
