§ 1. Mr. A. LOYDasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether His Majesty's Government have refused to Her Highness the Khedivah Mother permission to return to Egypt; and, if not, why she is not allowed to do so?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Ronald McNeill)His Majesty's Government have no objection to the return of the Khedivah Mother to Egypt. Her Highness has hitherto been prevented from returning at the instance of the King of Egypt, with whose wishes in family matters of this nature His Majesty's Government did not wish to interfere. King Found has, however, recently withdrawn his objection.
