§ Mr. RHYS DAVIESasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been called to an announcement issued by the Egyptian Minister in this country that Ibrashi Pasha has nothing whatever to do with State affairs; and whether His Majesty's Government has asked or will ask the Egyptian Prime Minister whether the Egyptian Government approves or otherwise 2044W of that announcement, in order to establish the facts with regard to the action of the High Commissioner in supporting the punishment of Ibrashi Pasha?
§ Sir J. SIMONI presume that the hon. Member is referring to a letter from the Egyptian Minister published in a London newspaper on 11th April. I see no reason to make any inquiry of the Egyptian Prime Minister.
