HC Deb 11 August 1904 vol 140 c221
MR. WEIR

To ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether there are any secret clauses attached to the Anglo-French Agreement which have reference to Egypt.

(Answered by Earl Percy.) Speculation and conjecture as to the existence or non-existence of secret clauses in inter national treaties is a public privilege, the maintenance of which depends upon official reticence.
