§ Captain Kerbyasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if, since negotiations for compensating British subjects and companies for wrongs they have 80W suffered, and are still suffering, in Egypt are likely to be contentious and protracted, he will now officially propose the appointment of an arbitrator in the person of the President of Liberia, or some other disinterested party, to adjudicate between the claims of Egypt and the United Nations Secretariat on the one hand, and those of the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth on the other.
§ Mr. Ian HarveyNo. Her Majesty's Government consider that a settlement of claims between Egypt and this country should first be sought in direct negotiations with the Egyptian Government.
