§ 21. Mr. Boyd-Carpenterasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many bases have been established by the Argentine and Chile in British antarctic territory; on what dates each of these was established; and what action he is taking to secure their removal.
§ Mr. BevinI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 6th November to similar Questions on the same subject.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterBut did not that reply merely amount to a statement that these trespassers were to be left in possession until their Governments would condescend to litigate the matter at The Hague Court and is not that, in the present state of the world, a very dangerous precedent to establish?
