HC Deb 11 December 1961 vol 651 c9W
51. Mr. Chataway

asked the Lord Privy Seal what sum has been received from the Egyptian Government by claimants in this country since the Egyptian promise last March to authorise the payment of the first £E1,000 of each application for the transfer of funds.

Mr. P. Thomas

The United Arab Republic authorities have informed Her Majesty's Embassy in Cairo that since 12th March, 1961, they have authorised 212 transfers totalling £E134,337. We know of a further 18 transfers of sums up to £E5,000 which were authorised before that date.
