HC Deb 19 November 1957 vol 578 c175
1. Captain Pilkington

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in view of the Egyptian claim for £71 million for the events of last autumn, how much this country is claiming for the damage done as a result of the "Voice of Cairo" and other methods of propaganda used by Colonel Nasser.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Peter Thorneycroft)

No claims of the kind referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend have, been presented by the Egyptians to us or by us to them.

Captain Pilkington

Does my right hon. Friend agree that had it not been for the policies advocated by the "Voice of Cairo" there need have been no Suez war and no damage at all?

Mr. Thorneycroft

That raises rather wider questions.
