HC Deb 01 May 1962 vol 658 c141W
Mr. Wall

asked the Lord Privy Seal if the Egyptian Government has yet furnished information as to the reason for the seizure of property belonging to some fifty British subjects last year; and whether this personal property will be released or compensation paid.

Mr. Heath

Her Majesty's Ambassador in Cairo has again been in touch with the United Arab Republic authorities about this. Their study of the problem created by the re-sequestration of British property is progressing. It seems clear that they will accept the principle of compensation for any of this property which is not released from sequestration.
