MacKinnon Wood, UnderSecretary to the Foreign Office, replying to Mr. Douglas Hall, says the Egyptian Government's intention to abide by the Assembly's decision was reached after consultation with Sir Eldon Gorst, British Agent and Consul-General, and with his consent; but the Imperial Government was in nowise influenced by the decision not to extend the concession.
