HC Deb 28 January 1953 vol 510 c110W
45. Mr. Philips Price

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will suspend negotiations with the Egyptian Government on the self-government statute pending the elections in the Sudan.

Mr. Eden

No. As I informed the House last week it remains the policy of Her Majesty's Government to seek agreement with Egypt, and to hold elections in the Sudan at the earliest possible opportunity.
