OFFICIAL STATEMENT

London, Yesterday. Mr. A. Henderson (Secretary for Foreign Affairs) announced in the House of Commons to-day that Lord Lloyd, High Commis sioner of Egypt, had resigned.

First of all I ought to say the resignation was in a friendly ex- handed to me change of letters. But if I have to state reasons I must refer to the intimation to Lord Lloyd, be fore he left Egypt, which was based on my reading of the atti- tude he had taken towards the policy of the late Government."
