Abstract: Assume that $G$ is a primitive permutation group on a finite set $X$, $x\in X$, $y\in X\setminus\{x\}$, and $G_{x,y}\trianglelefteq G_x$. P. Cameron raised the question about the validity of the equality $G_{x,y}=1$ in this case. The author proved earlier that, if $\mathrm{soc}(G)$ is not a direct power of an exceptional group of Lie type, then $G_{x,y}=1$. In the present paper, we prove that, if $\mathrm{soc}(G)$ is a direct power of an exceptional group of Lie type distinct from $E_6(q)$, $^2E_6(q)$, $E_7(q)$ and $E_8(q)$, then $G_{x,y}=1$.

Keywords: primitive permutation group, regular suborbit.
