HC Deb 23 March 1925 vol 182 c34
73. Sir F. WISE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if any interest and sinking fund for the Egyptian tribute loans of 1891 and 1894 has been deposited with the National Bank of Egypt?

Mr. McNEILL

The Egyptian Government informed His Majesty's Government last year of their intention to deposit in a blocked account with the National Bank of Egypt the sums required to meet the service of these loans.

Sir F. WISE

Will the right hon. Gentleman state what was the amount?

Mr. McNEILL

I could not answer that without notice.
