§ 77. Mr. J. Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will now give an approximate estimate of the losses sustained by British nationals expelled from Egypt; and what action he has taken to help them in their difficulties.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydI regret that I ant not in a position to give an accurate estimate of the total value of British assets in Egypt. Such an estimate at the present time would be largely guesswork. As the House will have noticed, British subjects with property in Egypt have been invited to submit details of their assets to my Department, which is engaged in compiling a register of such property. As regards the second part of the Question, I would refer the hon. Gentleman to the Answer which my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary gave to the hon. Member for Wokingham (Mr. Remnant) on 24th January.
