HC Deb 20 February 1956 vol 549 cc4-5W
65. Mr. H. Fraser

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what assurances he has received from the Egyptian Government, and what specific practical steps that Government propose to take, for the protection of British stores in the Suez base once the last British troops have been withdrawn.

Mr. Dodds-Parker

The assurance given by the Egyptian Government about the protection of British stores in the Suez Base are contained in the Anglo-Egyptian Agreement of 19th October, 1954 (Command 9298) at Annex I, Part B, paragraph 8, and Annex II, Part E. I am satisfied with the way these arrangements are working in practice.
