the nous ft o<- Cormons by the Attornny-Ceneral to a Question
as to the interpretation placed by hiir. on Clausa XIV o?
tbo T-raatv raspactinR the boundaries of Ulster.
It was urepd, on the one hand, that, having regard
to the feeling of anxiety among many of the supporters of
the Government on this question, it was most desirable that
a definite pronouncement shoul^be made to the effect that
the Government had in no way departed from the attitude
which had been previously taken up on this subject, and
which had been explained to the House of Commons by the
Prime Minister and the Lord Privy Seal in the Pebate on
tho Troaty last D^corn'bffr•
On the other hand, the opinion was expressed that
it would be most undesirable to make any statement which
would in any way conflict with the terms of the speech made
* v th „ 3„ c ~tary o' State e 0 r the Colonies in introducing
the Irish Hill, and that in particular it would be most
dangerous for the Attorney-General to give any interpreta

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).
