HC Deb 22 February 1916 vol 80 c585W
Mr. THEODORE TAYLOR

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if the Government of Egypt has taken any steps to ensure the planting of a full acreage of cotton during the coming season in view of the need of greater supplies for the industries of this country; and what steps are being taken in the Soudan to increase the growth of cotton there?

Sir E. GREY

I will refer the hon. Member's question to Cairo for such further information as can be supplied.
