HC Deb 14 December 1959 vol 615 c98W
68. Mr. Dodds

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps were taken to secure remission of the sentence of Mr. Zarb before a decision was taken to resume diplomatic relations with Egypt; and what was the result of such efforts.

Mr. Profumo

In reply to the hon Member for Workington (Mr. Peart) on 18th November, my right hon. and learned Friend asked the House to accept that public discussion of this problem is not likely to contribute towards its solution. Now that diplomatic relations have been restored, I very much hope that this and other outstanding problems will be the easier to deal with.
