§ Mr. CADOGANasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is yet in a position to state where the troops which are destined shortly to leave Alexandria and Cairo are to be quartered; and whether he will give a definite undertaking that the British garrison in these two towns will not be moved until a proper water supply and adequate arrangements have been made for the health of the troops in their new quarters in the Canal Zone?
§ Mr. SHAWNo general settlement has yet been reached with the Egyptian Government. The answer to the first part of the question is consequently in the negative. As regards the second part, the hon. Member may rest assured that adequate arrangements will always be made for the health and comfort of the troops.
