HC Deb 16 June 1920 vol 130 c1254
52. Captain R. TERRELL

asked the Prime Minister when the Milner Report may be expected; whether he is aware that in the meantime senior posts in the Egyptian Government previously held by British officials are being filled by Egyptians; and by what authority this change of policy in the government of Egypt is being carried out?

92. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Milner Commission expects to issue their Report on Egypt before the House rises in August?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Cecil Harmsworth)

As regards the issue of the Milner Report, I can only renew the assurance conveyed in my reply to the hon. Member for Wrekin on 12th May that Lord Milner and his colleagues can be relied on to formulate their conclusions without any avoidable delay. I have no information lending colour to the suggestion contained in the second part of the question of the hon. and gallant Member for Henley, and the last part therefore does not arise.
