§ Mr. EdenI have at the moment nothing to add to my statement in the House on Wednesday last in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for East Aberdeen (Mr. Boothby).
§ Mr. ThomasIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that recognition has now been given by all the Governments of the occupied territories, and can he explain this delay in recognition by the United Kingdom?
