HC Deb 25 February 1948 vol 447 cc1933-4
19. Mr. Thomas Reid

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs under what clause of the charter or other international instrument the Assembly of the United Nations Organisation proposes to use military Forces to enforce the partition of Palestine.

Mr. Bevin

The General Assembly did not propose the use of military force to impose partition in Palestine.

Mr. Sydney Silverman

Can my right hon. Friend say under what Clause of the Charter, or any other international instrument, any member State of the Arab League would be entitled to use force to prevent it?

Mr. Speaker

That is another question altogether.
