HC Deb 30 June 1930 vol 240 c1592
24. Colonel HOWARD-BURY

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (1) whether, in view of the change of Government that has taken place in Egypt, the draft treaty which was offered to the late Egyptian delegation is still available to the new Government;

25. Mr MANDER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has any statement to make with reference to the present position in Egypt as affecting treaty negotiations with this country?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

The treaty proposals remain open in the conditions as to ratification which I defined in this House on the 23rd of December last.

Colonel HOWARD-BURY

Is this not a very suitable opportunity to withdraw the offer and revert to the status quo?
