§ 27. Mr. Allaunasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what recent requests have been received from the French Government asking for British assistance in regard to Algeria.
§ Mr. Dodds-ParkerNo requests have been made to Her Majesty's Government for their assistance in Algeria.
§ Mr. AllaunFollowing the use of French troops against Egypt, will the Minister give the House an undertaking that under no circumstances will British Service men be used against the Algerian people?
§ Mr. Dodds-ParkerThere again, I cannot give a snap undertaking like that, but it is quite clear from what the French Government have said that they regard this as purely an internal matter.
