§ Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if, in the light of the ill treatment and imprisonment of the Daily Teleqraph correspondent in Cairo, Mr. Fahmy, by the Egyptian authorities, he will ask the protecting Powers to safeguard the interests and personal safety of his wife Mrs. Fahmy, a British subject now alone in Cairo.
§ Mr. MulleyMrs. Fahmy holds both British and United Arab Republic nationality and holds a United Arab Republic passport. As she is a resident in the United Arab Republic, the protecting Power has nolocus standi for intervening on her behalf with the local authorities but, within these limits, they will do what they can to look after her. Every effort was made to assist her in obtaining an exit visa so that she could leave Cairo along with the other British subjects, but the visa was not granted.
