I appreciate the interest which the right hon. and gallant Gentleman is taking in these cases. Will he continue this policy with a view to giving accommodation to those who come here from Egypt in future? He knows that barbaric treatment is being meted out by Egypt to people, including those who have no nationality. Will he also see to it that in those cases where Egyptians are insisting upon men of this description leaving other countries sympathetic consideration is given to their coming and remaining here?
