HC Deb 02 February 1960 vol 616 c789
35. Mr. Donnelly

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will make a statement regarding the consultations he has had with the World Bank regarding the Aswan Dam project.

Mr. Amory

Since the breakdown of the negotiations in 1956 there has been no proposal for an International Bank loan for this project.

Mr. Donnelly

Has the Chancellor given thought to the possibility, in order to explain to the Egyptians why we were not able to help them, of inviting the World Bank to make a bulk purchase of Sir Anthony Eden's memoirs?
