6. Lieut.-Colonel JAMES

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in the negotiations now in progress with the Egyptian representatives, arrangements are being made for trade commissioners?

Mr. A. HENDERSON

There is already a commercial secretary at His Majesty's Residency in Cairo, and provision for an Assistant Commercial Secretary has been made in the Estimates of the Department of Overseas Trade. This matter has not been discussed in connection with the present negotiations.
