with foreign powers and as such has its justification.
On the other hand, besides being a status par
ticularly resented by Egyptians, it has little
meaning in fact. So far as Egypt is concerned cir
cumstances connected with political situation, have
made it impossible in many respects to enforce a
policy of protection, even in most elastic sense.
At present moment Egyptians are not regarded as
British subjects and an Egyptian nationality law
is in contemplation. Further application of in

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).
