§ 43. Mr. Iremongerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what progress has been made in collecting information about the assets of British subjects victimised by the Egyptian Government and in securing for these British subjects from the Egyptian Government restoration of those assets in full or alternatively complete compensation.
§ Mr. Ian Harvey:As regards the first part of the Question, I hope that the task of collecting information about British assets in Egypt will be largely completed in two to three weeks. As regards the second part of the Question, the Egyptian Government have still not replied to the Note calling for the suspension of measures, including sequestration, taken against British subjects to which my right hon. and learned Friend referred in his reply to the right hon. Member for West Bromwich (Mr. Dugdale) on 6th March.
