SIB
HEJBY MCI'u-.HOj.I replied that he found difficulty in separating
Egypt in that connection from Mesopotamia. There was no ^
doubt that the details of Mesopotamian administration
would come increasingly before the Foreign Office as tho
problems of the two countries were very similar. Whatever
happened, the Department must remain for some time under
the control of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
LOKD CUltSOII pointed out that it made a great difference if the
department came under the Permanent Under Secretary or not
and
THE CHAIBMA1J remarked that no such body at present existed as a
department linked to a Ministry solely"by the Parliamentary
Secretary of State.
