§ Colonel DAYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what action has been taken following the second warning from the British Government to the Egyptian Government concerning the treatment accorded Judge Kershaw?
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINI presume that the hon. Member refers to the Note addressed by His Majesty's High Commissioner to the Egyptian Government on the 28th of June inquiring if certain articles which appeared in the Egyptian Press purporting to give the views of the General Assembly of the Court of Appeal on the resignation of Judge Kershaw were to be considered as an authoritative expression of the views of that Court. The Egyptian Government replied to that Note on the following day denying ex- 1229W plicitly the accuracy of the reports in question and expressing the Government's regret that the newspapers concerned had published such misleading information.
§ Viscount SANDONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has received a report with regard to the position of Judge Kershaw as to pension rights; and what action the Government are taking with regard to this matter and about the whole controversy?
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINI propose to take an opportunity of discussing this matter with Lord Lloyd, who is now on leave in England. Meantime, I am not in a position to make a statement upon it.
