HC Deb 28 February 1922 vol 151 cc291-2W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (1) whether he is aware that 10 Egyptian daily newspapers have been suspended or suppressed during the past 10 months; whether this action was taken with the approval of His Majesty's Government;

(2) whether he is aware that the newspaper "Almahrousa" has been suppressed indefinitely; if so, can he state the reason; and whether this is part of the new policy in Egypt?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

As I informed the hon. Member for Dartford (Mr. Mills) on 16th February, I have no material with which to furnish a statement of the nature requested without reference to Egypt I will supply a full answer respecting the suspension of newspapers in Egypt as soon as particulars have been obtained.
