EGYPT'S DISMISSED OFFICIALS SIR,—In her letter in your issue of

June 24, Dorothy Ginger stated that she had been informed that 'the British Council is about to entertain a number of Egyptian teachers in England at an expenditure of £52,000 of Government money.'

If, as your readers may have assumed, she meant British Government money, she has been misinformed. The Council has arranged an introduction course for these teachers and education officials and a programme of study for some forty of them, but the whole eost of the visit, whatever the correct total may be, is being borne by the Egyptian Government.— Yours faithfully,
