adequate explanation of this violent metamorphosis,
and we cannot but regret, from this point of view,
that you did not accept our suggestion to send Amos
and Clayton to furnish the fuller information which
we sought. His Majesty’s Government cannot therefore
accept your resignation until they have had an opportunity
of seeing you in person aiad hearing from your own lips
the cireumf/tuneds that have led to the present
position. Accordingly they will be-glad, it you will
come home at once to acquaint them with your views.
In the meantime, as it seems desirable that no mis
apprehension should exist as to the present position
and policy of His Majesty’s Government, or as to the
circumstances in which you are being invited to come

Mondey, January 30th, and shall be glad if you will
issue simultaneously in Egypt, a brief summary oi the

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).
