§ 98. Mr. Lewisasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will publish in HANSARD a list of the daily sailings of British ships and merchant vessels in the Suez Canal for the month preceding Britain's armed conflict with Egypt; and how many of these vessels were trapped in the canal after Egypt had blocked same.
§ Mr. WatkinsonI regret that official statistics relating to these sailings are not available. No British ships were trapped in the Canal when it was blocked.
