§ 7. Mr. Warbeyasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what consultations he has had with the Governments of Egypt and Transjordan regarding their proposals to establish a land link across the Negev.
§ Mr. BevinI am not aware that the Governments of Egypt and Jordan have submitted any specific proposals to establish a land link across the Negev.
§ Mr. WarbeyIs my right hon. Friend aware that reports have appeared in the Press to this effect, and also to the effect that these proposals have had the support of the British Government? Will he therefore give an assurance that the Government stand by the proposal of the United Nations General Assembly that Israel should have access to the Gulf of Aqaba?
§ Mr. BevinThat is not in the Question. I have been asked what consultations we have had with the Governments of Egypt and Transjordan, and I have answered, "None."
