Lawsonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware 2397W that a citizen of this country, of whom he has received details, has received no news from a relative in Egypt for more than a year, and that all attempts to send messages have been frustrated; and what steps he proposes to take in the matter.
