HC Deb 05 December 1960 vol 631 c114W
72. Lady Gammans

asked the Lord Privy Seal what progress has been made in the discussions in Cairo on the Anglo-Egyptian Financial Agreement of 1959: and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Heath

Discussions are in progress in Cairo on a number of subjects connected directly or indirectly with the Anglo-Egyptian Financial Agreement, but mostly concerned with administrative difficulties which have tended to hold up the full and speedy implementation of the Agreement. A number of these difficulties have already been solved and considerable progress has been made towards a solution of many of the others.
