HC Deb 22 March 1991 vol 188 c256W
Mr. Devlin

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress has been made to exchange civil prisoners with Egypt.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We are negotiating a prison transfer agreement with Egypt that would enable prisoners to serve the remainder of their sentences in their home country.

The Egyptians are still considering the matter. We shall continue to press them for an agreement.
