HC Deb 15 June 1948 vol 452 cc34-5W
82. Mr. Platts-Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the British Government nominated directors of the Suez Canal Company voted in favour of the election of Mr. S. Pinkney Tuck, former U.S. Ambassador to Egypt, to the Board of that Company.

Mr. Mayhew

Yes. Mr. Pinkney Tuck was elected unanimously. I would add that he was elected because of his personal qualifications for the post and is in no way a representative of the United States Government. Mr. Tuck is filling a vacancy previously held by a Frenchman.
