HC Deb 06 March 1922 vol 151 c886W
Mr. SWAN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if, simultaneously with the British Government's declaration of a desire to come to an understanding with the Egyptian people, it was announced to send Zaghlul Pasha and his colleagues, representatives of the Egyptian nation, to Seychelles Islands; and, since this action is likely to widen the gulf of misunderstanding between Egypt and England, can this decision be reconsidered?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

As regards the first part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the White Paper laid on the 28th February. As regards the latter part, the reply is in the negative.
