asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is now prepared to place all British naval, military, and air bases in the Mediterranean and elsewhere under international control; and if he will submit such proposals to an early conference of U.N.O.

Mr. Bevin

The future organisation of international security under the United Nations is the subject of Article 43 of the United Nations Charter. In accordance with the directive issued by the Security Council, the Military Staff Committee of the United Nations is at present studying the detailed arrangements required to give effect to the broad provisions in Article 43.
