HC Deb 02 March 1909 vol 1 c1397W
Mr JOHN ROBERTSON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to a recent pronouncement by His Highness Prince Hussein, the new president of the Egyptian Legislative Assembly, to the effect that he will not permit in that Assembly any demonstrations of disapprobation of Government policy; and whether this pronouncement was made at the request or with the consent of the Egyptian Government as advised by His Majesty's Consul-General at Cairo?

Sir E. GREY

I hear that a report of some decision to this effect has appeared in the newspapers. I have no information otherwise with regard to it.
