FINAL DECISIONS ON EGYPTIAN DEMANDS
London, Apr. 5.
Long delayed by important deliberations, Sir Ralph Steven- ⚫son, British Ambassador to Egypt, will leave London by air for Cairo on Saturday, it was announced by the Foreign Office here this evening.
The announcement said that Sir Ralph would be returning to the Egyptian capital on completion of the consultations for which he was sum- moned to London,
"He will be in a position to communicate to the Egyptian Govern- ment the result of the studies which have been undertaken in London since the conversations between Mr Ernest Bevin, the British Foreign Secre- tary, and the Egyptian Foreign Minister, Salah el Din Bey, last December," the Foreign Office's communique said.
