HC Deb 24 February 1930 vol 235 cc1843-4
15. Captain CROOKSHANK

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether in view of the recent publication in Cairo of an Egyptian Green Book detailing the negotiations with Mahmoud Pasha, he proposes to issue a corresponding White Paper; and, if so, how soon?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

As the hon. Member for East Wolverhampton (Mr. Mander) was informed in a written reply on the 21st February, the fact that the result of my conversations wish Mahmoud Pasha has already been laid as a White Paper renders unnecessary any further publication in this country.

Captain CROOKSHANK

Are we to take it that the documents published by the Egyptians may be considered as authentic?

Mr. HENDERSON

I think that the late Egyptian Prime Minister has signed the documents, so that they must be authentic so far as he is concerned. I understood that there was nothing of any importance in them.
