HC Deb 18 December 1929 vol 233 cc1373-4
9. Mr. GODFREY LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the fact that the recent White Paper does not contain a draft treaty between this country and Egypt but only an outline of proposals, he can say whether he adheres to his statement in the Note to the Egyptian Government that these proposals represent the extreme limit of the concessions which His Majesty's Government can make?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

I would refer the right hon. Gentleman to the answer returned to the hon. Member for Eastbourne (Mr. Marjoribanks) on the 4th December, in which it was stated that no change had taken place in the policy of His Majesty's Government in regard to the proposals.

Mr. MARJORIBANKS

Will the right hon. Gentleman say whether that letter contains a guarantee against a further change of policy?
