Majesty's Government, subject to the approval of Parliament,
if they had met with a favourable reception from the Egyptian
Government,
I then sounded the Minister on a third point. I did not
desire to press him, but could ho tell me how the decision
arrive i at would affect his ersonal oosition when he returned
to Cairo, and whether we might hone for his continued co~
operation to which his Majesty 1 s Government attached the
highest importance in carrying on the Egyptian Administration?
his hxcelloncy did not give an aosolutely definite reply to
these questions, which were put with less orecision than they
to oresent in print j but he left on me the very clear
impression that his oresent intention is to resign immediately
upon returning to Egypt, an 1 that his position under any other
conditions would be uivenable• I said that I would consult the
Prime Minister as to the desirability of deferring publication
until his return, and then providing for a simultaneous issue,
and would let him know either personally or by letter before
the end of the week. There remains the further question of
what should be said in the press in the interim, in order to
explain the departure of the delegation.

About this item
- Content
The file contains correspondence, memoranda, minutes, and other papers concerning the political situation in Egypt and negotiations between the British Government and an Egyptian delegation for the end of the British Protectorate in Egypt. The papers cover the effort to come to an agreement on future relations between the two parties following negotiations in the summer of 1921 and up until Britain's unilateral declaration of the end of the protectorate in February 1922.
The majority of the memoranda is written by Foreign Office officials, including the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Lord Curzon. Records of meetings of the Cabinet and a sub-committee on the Egyptian situation, and of a few high-level gatherings at 10 Downing Street, make up a substantial part of the file. There is also a large amount of correspondence between Curzon and Field Marshal Edmund Henry Hynman Allenby, High Commissioner of Egypt, on the question of Egyptian independence and events in Egypt. Other papers include printed collections relating to the Egyptian situation that were presented to Parliament.
At the back of the file is a chronological summary and a résumé of events in Egypt since the publication of the report of the Milner Mission to Egypt (folios 238-260).
