§ Viscount SANDONasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs the nature of the communications made by the Government to the Dominion Governments and the answers received on the subject of the proposed Anglo-Egyptian Treaty?
§ Captain MARGESSONI have been asked to answer this question. The Dominion Governments were kept informed of every stage in the negotiations with Egypt and, as soon as the text of a treaty had been agreed with Sarwat Pasha, its terms were communicated to the Dominion Governments by telegraph and their concurrence was sought in the proposal to present it to the Egyptian Government. The replies to this telegram made it clear that the policy of His Majesty's Government in Great Britain was satisfactory to all the Dominion Governments.
