§ The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. T. Shaw)There has been no change in the establishment of the British troops in Egypt during the period in question, but approximately two infantry battalions, together with ancillary troops, were despatched temporarily from Egypt to Palestine last August. Of these, one battalion and certain other troops have since returned to Egypt.
