Lord Allonby's attituda had hacowe w»ll known in Pgypt bofore
he left for Upland, and this had necessarily affected his
attitude in the recent Conferences. The Prirce Minister and
Lord Curzon, in their conversations with Lord Allenby, had
not questioned his right to resign if there was a real dif
ference of opinion between the Government and himself, but
had set therrselves/to ascertain whether there was in fact
such a difference of principle or merely a misunderstanding
which could be cleared up. The Prime Minister had asked
whether it was not correct to say that under Lord Allenby's
plan, when the Protectorate was abolished, he intended to
trust to luck that agreement would be reached in regard to
the points essential to British internets. Mr Amos, a
British official in tho Egyptian Klnistry of Justice, who
was one of Lord Allenhy’s advisers, had replied that this
was not the intention, and that the status quo i^egard to
these points Wald be unaffected. The Prine Minister had
then asked in which part of the document this was to be
found, without eliciting any satisfactory reply. The fact
was that everything the Egyptians desired was provided for
in the document. Everything the British Government insisted
on was left to the future. The Prime Minister had then sug
gested that the position of the British Government should be
r"ad* unrrlstakeahly cl^ar on the face of the document. Lord
Allenby had replied thfct th^ document had been agreed textui-

Eventually the Prime Minister had suggested that Lord
Allenby's advisers should meet a representative of the Foreign
Office and Sir Edward Grigg, with a view to drawing up two
documents, both based on Lord Allenby’s draft letter to thn
Sultan enclosed with his telegram No.19 of January 12, 1922
(Paper C.P.-3614, No .4). What the P*^ime Minister had laid

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).
