HC Deb 06 December 1948 vol 459 cc1-2
1. Mr. Gammans

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make a statement on the agreement reached with the Government of Siam with regard to assistance given by His Majesty's Government in the re-equipping of the Siamese Army.

The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Mayhew)

No such agreement has been reached by His Majesty's Government with the Government of Siam.

Mr. Gammans

Has any application been made by the Government of Siam for the kind of assistance I have mentioned in my Question?

Mr. Mayhew

My right hon. Friend is considering some recommendations he has received from our Ambassador in Bangkok.

Mr. Platts-Mills

Will the hon. Gentleman draw the attention of his right hon. Friend to the fact that everyone on this side of the House wants to see the end of this bolstering up of primitive, feudal, reactionary regimes?
