HC Deb 05 April 1921 vol 140 c107
53. Mr. LYLE-SAMUEL

asked the Prime Minister when the Government will be in a position to announce its policy with regard to the future government of Egypt?

Sir P. LLOYD-GREAME

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to the hon. Member for Chester-le-Street on 3rd March. Any further statement with regard to the policy of His Majesty's Government towards Egypt at the present time could only prejudice the discussions that it is hoped will take place with the Egyptian delegation which the Sultan has been invited to send to this country.

Mr. LYLE-SAMUEL

Will there be an opportunity for full discussion of this matter?

Sir P. LLOYD-GREAME

That is a question of which my hon. Friend should give notice.
