§ 2. Mr. CHORLTONasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether there is any special trade commissioner accredited to the treaty negotiations proceeding with Egypt?
§ Mr. EDENNo trade commissioner is attached either to the British or to the Egyptian Delegations at present engaged in the conversations regarding an, Anglo-Egyptian treaty, which are, as I have already explained, of a preliminary character.
§ Mr. CHORLTONWill there be a commissioner there later on?
§ Mr. EDENNo, these conversations are dealing with political matters only. It would confuse our work if we brought commercial matters in as well.
