HC Deb 07 December 1925 vol 189 c35
69. Sir F. WISE

asked the Secretary of State for War the cost of the headquarters of the Army of Occupation in Cairo in 1914, and the estimated cost in 1925–26?

Captain KING

The comparable figures for General Headquarters, Egypt, are in 1914 £11,700 at 1914 rates of pay and in 1925–26 £56,500 at post-War rates of pay.

Sir F. WISE

Can the hon. and gallant Member say whether that includes the Air Force Headquarters?

Captain KING

I do not think so, but I will make inquiries.
