HC Deb 01 April 1968 vol 762 c6W
45. Sir G. Nabarro

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what contribution he has made to Egyptian loans; and what countervailing claims he is making in respect of British ships incarcerated for a long while in the blocked Suez Canal, by Nasser.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

The United Kingdom contribution of $20 million to the financial facility recently made available to the United Arab Republic has now been repaid in full following drawings by the United Arab Republic from the International Monetary Fund. The question of countervailing claims, therefore, does not arise.
