HC Deb 16 July 1957 vol 573 c106W
81. Mr. Remnant

asked the Secretary to the Treasury what proportion of the blocked accounts in the United Kingdom of former British residents and institutions in Egypt have been released.

Mr. Birch

I regret that the information is not available but, as my hon. Friend the Financial Secretary indicated in his reply to the hon. and gallant Member for Haltemprice (Major Wall) on 16th May, there are normally no difficulties in releasing sums held on an account in the name of a British subject or institution.
