<p>Egypt needs a &#8220;broad-based, representative government&#8221; including members of the opposition to President Hosni Mubarak, Downing Street has said.</p>
<p>Monday&#8217;s cabinet appointments, which reshuffled familiar faces from Mr Mubarak&#8217;s regime, was a &#8220;disappointing&#8221; response to the past week&#8217;s demands for change, said Prime Minister David Cameron&#8217;s official spokesman.</p>
<p>Britain has called for an &#8220;orderly transition&#8221; to free and fair elections in the north African country, where protesters on Tuesday called for a &#8220;march of a million people&#8221; to end Mr Mubarak&#8217;s 30 years in power.</p>
<p>The crisis was discussed by the Cabinet at its regular weekly meeting in 10 Downing Street, as well as by a meeting of the National Security Council attended by Mr Cameron immediately afterwards.</p>
<p>Mr Cameron&#8217;s spokesman said: &#8220;We have said that it is important for the Egyptian government to listen to the aspirations of its people. That means a transition to a broad-based government including opposition figures that will produce real political change. </p>
<p>&#8220;It is clear from yesterday&#8217;s cabinet appointments that this is not yet happening and we consider that to be disappointing.&#8221;</p>
<p>The spokesman insisted the UK was not seeking to &#8220;dictate&#8221; who should be in the Egyptian government. But he said opposition figurehead and Nobel laureate Mohamed ElBaradei was the kind of figure whose inclusion should be considered.</p>
<p>The comments came as tens of thousands of people converged on the heart of Cairo, responding to a call for a million Egyptians to unite in the largest protest in a week of unceasing demands for Mr Mubarak to step down.</p>
<p>The Egyptian army has said it will not use force against protesters, but Britons yet to leave the crisis-stricken country were advised to stay away from public gatherings.</p>
<p>The Foreign Office said: &#8220;British nationals should observe instructions and advice by local security authorities and avoid public gatherings and disturbances.&#8221;</p>
