§ Mr. Wallasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if the recent agreement on financing the Suez-Mediterranean oil pipeline has been followed by a speeding-up of the release of British-owned property seized in 1961, in accordance with the agreements of 1959 and 1967; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GodberThere is nothing I can add at present to the answer I gave to my hon. Friend on 12th January. The recent decision to support British participation in the Suez-Mediterranean264W pipeline, while unconnected with sequestration matters, will, it is hoped, lead to a further strengthening in Anglo-Egyptian relations and in this way help to contribute towards a solution of outstanding problems.—[Vol. 809, c. 28–30.]
