§ Mr. Wallasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make a statement on the progress of discussions with the Government of the United Arab Republic on the release or compensation for British property resequestrated under Proclamation 138.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsAs a result of negotiations earlier this year in Cairo, 261W British and United Arab Republic representatives have exchanged Notes on various matters outstanding from the Anglo-Arab Republic Financial Agreement of 1959 and the Supplementary Exchanges of Notes of 1962, and on sequestrated British property in the United Arab Republic. The Agreement enters into force today.
Principally, the Exchange of Notes provides for British property sequestrated since 1959 and estimated by the owners at £E11 million, to be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Agreement of 1959 and the Supplementary Exchange of Notes of 1962.
In addition, the Exchange of Notes settles several technical problems which have arisen in the past over the implementation of the Financial Agreement of 1959 and the Supplementary Exchanges of Notes of 1962.
The Exchange of Notes will be published as a White Paper and attention will be drawn to it both in this country and abroad. In addition, owners where known to the Foreign Office will be advised individually by post.
