I beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can now state what knowledge of Arabic is required of British officials under the Egyptian Ministry of Public Instruction and give the statistics of the examination; and can he also give any information as to the rate of pension and salaries payable to native and British Judges respectively, and as to the inspectors appointed in the Slave Trade Repression Department in Egypt.

I propose to circulate the Answer to this Question with the Votes.
