Details Refused In Commons
(Special Correspondent N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, February 16. The Foreign Secretary (Mr Selwyn Lloyd) refused in the House of Commons to give details about the number of Centurion tanks supplied to Egypt, Jordan, Iraq and Israel. Mr Shin well (Labour): Will you say whether it is correct, as has appeared in several newspapers, that Egypt has had 33 Centurions, Jordan 12, Iraq eight, and Israel none? Mr Lloyd: You are endeavouring to make me depart from the practice I have just confirmed. Mrs Braddock: Every docker in Liverpool knows for a positive fact that 34 Centurions have been shipped to Egypt in the last six months.
