The attitude of the British Government remained unchanged. They regarded the Egyptian Parliament and ° 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 lie 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 safeguard only those interests which Britain had to maintain and those obligations which it was Brita | 's duty to fulfil.
