HC Deb 18 October 1944 vol 403 c2349
3. Mr. Astor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has been officially informed of the agreement reached at the recent conference of Arab States; and, if so, will he circulate the text of it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. Law

I have not yet received the official text of the proceedings. His Majesty's Government are watching with sympathy and interest the efforts of the Arab States to reduce the barriers between them. So far as I can judge from the preliminary reports which have been published, a gratifying measure of agreement has been achieved at the preparatory meeting in Cairo as to the direction in which further progress should be made.

Mr. Astor

Will my right hon. Friend consider circulating in the OFFICIAL REPORT the summary of conclusions which has reached London?

Mr. Law

Yes, Sir, I will certainly consider that.
