HC Deb 22 October 1919 vol 120 c28
57. Captain W. BENN

asked the Prime Minister whether he can make any statement as to the present position in Egypt?

Mr. BONAR LAW

Field-Marshal Lord Allenby, who has been appointed High Commissioner, has not yet returned to Egypt, and until he has arrived and reported upon the general situation it would be undesirable to make any statement.
