HC Deb 08 April 1957 vol 568 c798
7. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is now the policy of Her Majesty's Government in regard to the re-entry of the Egyptian Army into the Gaza Strip.

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

Her Majesty's Government's policy remains as stated by my right hon. and learned Friend on 14th March.

Mr. Gresham Cooke

Will my right hon. Friend ask his right hon. Friend to encourage the United Nations to keep their Force in the Gaza Strip as long as possible, with a view to trying to reach a final settlement of the Arab refugee problem in the Gaza Strip?

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

Yes, Sir. It is certainly Her Majesty's Government's policy to see that the United Nations Emergency Force remains in the Gaza Strip for as long as it is needed—and that is for some considerable time.
