HC Deb 14 February 1951 vol 484 cc385-6
23. Mr. Philips Price

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he can now make a further statement about the discussions which took place recently between himself and the Egyptian Foreign Minister in relation to the future status of the Suez Canal.

Mr. Younger

I am not able to add anything to the reply given to the hon. Member for Hitchin (Mr. Fisher), on the same subject on 29th January.

Mr. Price

Can my hon. Friend say whether there is any prospect of a further continuation of the discussion on the Suez Canal which took place the other day?

Mr. Younger

I think it is known that certain aspects of the questions relating to the Suez Canal are at present before the United Nations. At the moment we are awaiting the results of these discussions.
