§ 114. Mr. J. Hyndasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs at what point it was decided that the economic advantages to Egypt of the Aswan High Dam were not such as to justify British financial assistance.
§ Mr. Dodds-ParkerThe hon. Member is under a misapprehension. As I think my right hon. and learned Friend made clear in the course of the debate on Foreign Affairs on 24th July, it was not the economic advantages of the Dam to Egypt that was in question, but whether the Egyptian Government's economic policy would leave her in a position to devote to the project the priority necessary for its success.
