Viscount Lambton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on whose authority a member of his Department telephoned Squadron Leader Hindle James and discussed with him the subject of a protest to the Egyptian Government concerning the Squadron Leader's treatment by Egyptian forces and police between 6th June and 9th June.

Mr. William Rodgers

Mine.

Viscount Lambton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of new evidence that has come to light, he will protest to the Egyptian Government concerning the case of Squadron Leader Hindle James, who was imprisoned, interrogated, kicked and manacled to a member of the staff of the British Embassy, as well as being refused access to his doctor, or the British Consulate, by members of the Egyptian police force and army between 6th June and 9th June.

Mr. William Rodgers

No. I am unaware of any new evidence and have nothing to add to the replies I gave to the noble Member on 24th and 27th July.—[Vol. 751, c.28; Vol. 751, c. 234.]
