HC Deb 10 February 1922 vol 150 cc473-4W
Mr. LAWSON

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether various institutions in Egypt, representing all classes, protested against Zaghloul Pasha's deportation and against the military measures taken in that country, including mixed institutions, i.e., institutions with Egyptian and European members; and whether the Minia local council, which is a mixed institution, in its meeting on 14th January, 1922, communicated an unanimous protest to the Prime Minister?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

Protests of the nature indicated have been received, but none, with the exception of that mentioned in the question, from mixed institutions. That particular protest was sent by the ex-officio president of the Commission, but there is nothing to indicate whether all the members were present when it was framed.
