HC Deb 28 February 1922 vol 151 cc292-3W
Mr. MORGAN JONES

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the British military authorities in Egypt have forbidden the Press, on pain of suppression, to publish anything emanating from any members of the Egyptian Nationalist Delegation, from Madame Zaghloul, or from the Native Bar, or medical or commercial associations; that circulars issued by these persons or organisations are confiscated by the police; and whether this policy has the acquiescence of Sarwat Pasha?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

I have already given the information in my possession in my reply to the hon. Member for Barnard Castle (Mr. Swan) on 13th February. I have no knowledge of the light in which Sarwat Pasha may regard the measure taken by Lord Allenby.
