HC Deb 19 May 1943 vol 389 c1098
38. Lieut.-Colonel Sir Thomas Moore

asked the Prime Minister whether he is yet in a position to indicate the future form of government and administration in the North African States?

The Deputy Prime Minister (Mr. Attlee)

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply which I gave yesterday in answer to a Question by my hen. Friend the Member for Plaistow (Mr. Thorne), to which I have nothing to add.

Sir T. Moore

Is the process of discarding Vichy officials proceeding satisfactorily?

Mr. Attlee

Perhaps my hon. and gallant Friend will put that Question down.

Mr. Shinwell

Will my right hon. Friend make it clear that we are not fighting this war in order to acquire more territory?

Mr. Attlee

That has been made abundantly clear.
