§ Mr. SWANasked the Secretary of State for War bow many British soldiers, sailors, aeroplanes, tanks, armoured cars, and vessels were made available to cope with the situation in Egypt following upon the arrest of Zaghloul Pasha last December; and what is the total cost involved?
§ Sir R. SANDERSThe whole of the forces in Egypt were available to cope with the situation in question, and proved sufficient to do so. I am not in possession of figures as to the cost of such minor movements as took place, but they would be inconsiderable.
§ Mr. SWANasked the Secretary of State for War the approximate cost of the Army in Egypt since the Armistice up to the present?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI regret that the form in which the Army accounts were compiled before the year 1920–21 does not enable me to give the figures asked for.
