§ Sir F. SANDERSONasked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can give reasonable assurance that the projected schemes for the vast development of the Sudan by irrigation and the building of the dam and harnessing the waters of the Blue Nile will not be detrimental to Egyptian territory, and more particularly during the seasons of a deficiency of water rising in the Nile; and whether this matter has been carefully considered?
§ Mr. RONALD McNEILLThe reply to both parts of the question is unhesitatingly in the affirmative.
