BRITAIN AND EGYPT POLICY OF GOVERNMENT British Official Wireless. ltecd. 11.30 a.m. RUGBY’, Monday. Replying to questions in Parliament to-day, the Foreign Secretary, Sir Austen Chamberlain. said he had no statement to make on the recent development in Egypt. The attitude of the British Government remained unchanged. It regarded the Egyptian Parliament and the Constitution primarily as matters for the King of Egypt and the Egyptian people to determine. He had had some previous Indications of what was going to happen, and Lord Lloyd, the British High Commissioner, and he had carefully refrained from expressing any opinion or tendering any advice. It had been the consistent policy of his Majesty’s Government to refrain as far as possible from interference in purely Egyptian affairs, and to saft?guard only those interests which Britain had to maintain, and those obligations which it was Britain's duty to fulfil.
