HC Deb 27 November 1919 vol 121 cc1862-3
5. Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Egypt will be invited to send a representative to attend the first meeting of the assembly of the League of Nations; and, if not, what is the reason for her different treatment in this respect to that of the Empire of India?

Mr. D. WARD

The status of Egypt in relation to the League of Nations can only be determined when the details of her future Constitution under the Protectorate and her position in relation to the British Empire have been finally settled. Her present position offers no analogy; to that of India.
