HC Deb 18 February 1924 vol 169 cc1368-9W
Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of recent events at Luxor, he will approach the Government of the United States of America with a view to making with that Government a joint protest against the treatment of British and American archaeologists working in Egypt by the present Minister of Public Works in that country?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am obliged to the hon. Member for his suggestion, but it does not commend itself to His Majesty's Government at present.
