§ 33. Mr. Danceasked the Lord Privy Seal, in view of the dissatisfaction and confusion in the minds of people who have property still in Egypt, if he will send a small delegation, consisting of representatives from the three parties, to Egypt to study the position regarding this property and to report back to him.
§ Mr. HeathNo, Sir. I do not think that such a delegation would be able to achieve a useful purpose.
§ Mr. DanceI fully appreciate my right hon. Friend's difficulties here, but at the same time does not he think that some form of inspection of this sort would alleviate the concern in the minds of people who are implicated at the present moment by their property still remaining in Egypt and by not knowing whether it is still there or what condition it is in?
§ Mr. HeathWe are naturally anxious to remove all their anxieties in the same way that we are anxious to remove the difficulties which exist in carrying out the Financial Agreement between us and the U.A.R. There is our Embassy in Cairo and agents of many of these people are also there. If we can be of assistance in a particular case which my hon. Friend has in mind perhaps he will write to me about it.
