HC Deb 25 April 1951 vol 487 cc357-8
2. Miss Irene Ward

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty why modern torpedo sights are to be despatched to Egypt when neither the French nor other Western Union allies have such up-to-date sights.

Mr. Callaghan

No modern torpedo sights have been, or are being, despatched to Egypt.

Miss Ward

Am I to understand, then, that they have been released for the Egyptian Government but are now being held? Does that indicate a change of policy on the part of the Government?

Mr. Callaghan

There has been no change of policy. None has been supplied.
