HC Deb 18 July 1916 vol 84 c863W
Mr. GINNELL

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why the practice, hitherto respected, of appointing Egyptians as Governors of Egyptian provinces has been departed from in the case of the new Western Province created in Egypt and an Englishman made Governor?

Lord R. CECIL

I have no information, but I will make inquiry of His Majesty's High Commissioner for Egypt on the subject.
