SIR,—Further to my letter of June 16 referring to the

position of the British officials illegally dismissed by the Egyptian Government in 1951 as reprisals for action taken in the Canal Zone by the British Army, I made a mistake in the figure which I gave as being spent by the British Council at the moment to entertain Egyptian teachers in England.

The sum should be £12,000 to entertain 52 teachers, and not £52,000 as I stated.—Yours faithfully,
