HC Deb 06 July 1922 vol 156 c596W
Mr. SWAN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will supply the names and qualifications of the dental and medical practitioners attending Zaghloul Pasha and his colleagues in the Seychelles?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

The Chief Medical Officer in the Seychelles is Mr. Joseph Bartlett Addison, M.B.E., M. R.C.S. (England), L.U.C.P (London). The Assistant Medical Officer is Mr. John Thomas Bradley, M.D. (Brussels), L.R.C.P. and L.R.C.S (Edinburgh), L.S.P. and L.S.S. (Glasgow). The dental work on the islands is performed by Mr. Donald Frances Watson, manager of the Government Pharmacy and anaesthetist, who, though not a qualified dentist, has practised on the islands for the last 20 years and whose services in this capacity are reported by the Officer Administering the Seychelles as having been of the greatest value to the community.

Mr. SWAN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the articles of food and the drugs necessary for Zaghloul Pasha and his colleagues are available in the Seychelles; whether he is aware that Zaghloul Pasha has had to send to London for the gluten bread necessary for his health; and that Nahas Bey has had to cable to Cairo for instructions for the making of eye-drops?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

The reply to the first part of the question is in the affirmative and to the remainder in the negative.
