§ 64. Mr. ORMSBY-GOREasked whether the Milner Commission on the future Government of Egypt has recently got into touch with any representatives of the Egyptian Nationalist party in London or in Paris; whether the members of the Egyptian Nationalist party who have approached members of the Milner Commission are empowered to speak on behalf of the party; and whether these conversations will still further delay the issue of the Report of the Commission?
Mr. HARMSWORTHI understand that the reply to the first two parts of the question is in the affirmative, and to the last part in the negative.
§ Mr. ORMSBY-GOREThat is to say that the Report will be issued irrespective of any conversations that are now taking place?
Mr. HARMSWORTHNo. What I said was that I do not anticipate that there will be any additional delay on account of these conversations.
