§ 94. Mr. Awberyasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what instructions were given at the time of the crisis last year by the Government to the British employees of the Suez Canal Company; and what action is now being taken to protect the employees of British nationality from the loss of any pension rights they possessed and from the loss of earnings as a result of them accepting and implementing the policy of the Government.
§ Mr. Ian HarveyNone. There has never been any question of Her Majesty's Government giving instructions to the company's employees.
Pensions and compensation are the concern of the company, which has, I understand, made provision for its British employees.
