§ 1. Mr. DAYasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the amount paid in English currency to each of the official and unofficial British directors who serve on the board of the Suez Canal Company for the 12 months to the last convenient date; and how many meetings each of these directors attended?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Mr. Eden)I regret that the information desired is not available.
§ Mr. DAYIs it not possible for the right hon. Gentleman to say what is the amount that these directors receive?
§ Mr. DAYWas not a statement made in this House in answer to a question by me, that they receive 2 per cent. on the profits of the company, and is the right hon. Gentleman not able to tell us what the amount is in currency?
