§ 47. Mr. Errollasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish a list, with salaries, of all British officials employed in Egypt by the British Government, together with their designations and duties.
§ Sir S. CrippsAs the reply is somewhat lengthy and involves a number of figures. I will, with permission, circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
§ Mr. ErrollCould the Chancellor say, in view of the length of his reply, whether he intends to reduce the number of staffs employed in Egypt.
§ Sir S. CrippsWhen the hon. Member reads the reply he will see that that is quite unnecessary.
§ Following is the reply:
§ Excluding staff locally recruited, the total number of civilians employed by His Majesty's Government in Egypt is 159. This includes subordinate staff, but excludes civilian staff attached to His Majesty's Forces. A list is appended showing the numbers employed in different Departments, but a complete list of salaries, designations and duties would take up disproportionate space and I suggest that if the hon. Member requires any specific information not available in the published Estimates he should seek it from the Minister concerned
