§ 10. Sir T. Mooreasked the Minister of Defence to what extent the United Nations Forces in Egypt are being equipped by British military units now there.
§ Mr. BirchI have been asked to reply.
We are doing what we can to meet requests by the United Nations Forces. Rations have already been provided and we are making lorries available.
§ Sir T. MooreMay we assume from that Answer, therefore, that but for the presence of British and French troops in Egypt the United Nations Force could not even have begun to function properly?
§ Mr. FellIf the United Nations Force is able to use British lorries, why is it that the United Nations Force did not use all the British salvage equipment which is now at the Canal?
