Sir T. Moore
asked the Minister of Defence if he will make a statement on the present position in the Suez Canal Zone, with special reference to the progress of evacuation.
Mr. H. Macmillan
The situation in the Suez Canal Zone remains quiet and the Egyptian authorities are giving us their full co-operation. My hon. Friend will have seen from the terms of the Anglo-Egyptian Agreement, signed on 19th October, that the withdrawal of United Kingdom Forces from the Canal Zone is to be completed within 20 months of that date.
