HC Deb 17 April 1928 vol 216 cc15-6
23. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the present political situation in Egypt as affecting His Majesty's Government?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Godfrey Locker-Lampson)

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the answer given on the 5th of April to the hon. Member for Northampton (Mr. Malone). The situation remains as defined in the Note addressed to the Egyptian Prime Minister by Lord Lloyd on the 4th of April, the text of which we published in the Press on the following day.

Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHY

Is the situation in Egypt quite settled and quiet at the present time?

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

So far as I know.
