HC Deb 30 March 1925 vol 182 cc937-8
61. Sir FREDRIC WISE

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the amount of the interest and sinking fund for the Egyptian tribute loan of 1891 and 1894 deposited with the National Bank of Egypt?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

According to the stated intention of the Egyptian Government the amount deposited in a blocked account with the National Bank of Egypt is that which would normally have been remitted to the agents of these loans since default took place.

Sir F. WISE

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the deposit is made in Cairo or in London?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I do not know.
