HC Deb 28 January 1957 vol 563 cc105-6W
65. Mr. Elwyn Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how long the British prisoners, detained by the Egyptian authorities on charges of alleged espionage, have been in custody; what is now known of their treatment and circumstances; and what steps have been taken by his Department to urge that these British prisoners should either be brought to trial immediately or released forthwith.

Mr. Ian Harvey

I have nothing to add to the reply my right hon. Friend gave to the hon. and learned Member on 23rd January.
