HC Deb 09 December 1929 vol 233 cc11-3
35. Brigadier-General CLIFTON BROWN

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, seeing that Nahas Pasha, the leader of the Wafd, has proposed a visit to London to confer with him on the details of the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty, he will state whether he will adhere to the terms he laid down as representing the limit in the way of British concessions to Egypt?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

I have no knowledge of the projected visit to which the hon. and gallant Member refers. Nor have I anything to add to the answer given to the hon. Member for Eastbourne on the 4th of December, that the policy of His Majesty's Government regarding the proposed Anglo-Egyptian Treaty remains unchanged.

Brigadier-General BROWN

May I take it that the representations published in the newspapers are quite untrue as to the communications going on with the Government?

Mr. HENDERSON

I do not know to which reports the hon. and gallant Gentleman refers.
