HC Deb 13 February 1922 vol 150 c657W
Mr. SWAN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether instructions have been issued to the Egyptian Press not to publish anything from the members of the Wafd or Egyptian delegation; and whether the members of the Wafd are prohibited from corresponding with the Press?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

Egyptian newspapers have been instructed not to publish anything over the signatures of the eight members of the Wafd, who recently published a violently-worded appeal to Egyptians to adopt the policy of non-co-operation.
