HC Deb 05 October 1938 vol 339 c335W
Mr. Edwards

asked the Prime Minister how many British subjects have recently left, or are about to leave, the Egyptian Government lighthouse service; and what compensation or pension is paid to them by either the British or Egyptian Governments?

Mr. Butler

Since August, 1936, 17 British subjects have left the Egyptian Government lighthouse service. The terms of their contracts do not provide for any pension or other form of payment on their leaving the service.
