asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can make any statement as to the progress of negotiations with the representatives of the Egyptian Government?

51. Mr. D. G. SOMERVILLE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can make any statement as to the hitch in the Anglo-Egyptian negotiations; and what is the exact cause of the delay in reaching an understanding?

The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Arthur Henderson)

As I informed the hon. and gallant Member for Gainsborough (Captain Crookshank) on the 9th April, negotiations were adjourned on that date, and were to be resumed to-day. The courier from Egypt, whose arrival the Egyptian Delegation wished to await, reached London a few hours ago, and negotiations will be resumed at five o'clock this afternoon.
