As I mentioned, the government did request the Egyptian government to investigate claims of mistreatment. And, as I said, Egyptian authorities advised that no evidence was found about Mr Habib’s alleged detention and torture in Egypt. On the specific matters you have just raised, I will seek some further information from the foreign minister. If there is any further information that can assist with the answer, we will provide it.
