Algeria

HC Deb 12 February 1958 vol 582 cc383-4

39. Mr. Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how the delegate of the United Kingdom voted in the recent General Assembly of the United Nations on the resolution on Algeria.

Commander Noble

The reply to this Question was given to the hon. Member on 19th December.

Mr. Brockway

Since 19th December, however, there have been developments. Whilst admittedly our own record is tarnished by what has happened in Cyprus—[HON. MEMBERS: "Oh."]—is it not desirable that this country should protest against the uncivilised war in Algeria, as illustrated this week by the criminal bombing of the village in Tunisia?

Mr. Speaker

Order. That was far beyond the Question on the Order Paper. Mr. Rankin.

Mr. Brockway

On a point of order. I put a Question to the right hon. and gallant Gentleman, who replied that he had given me an earlier Answer. Since that earlier Answer, there have been developments, and my Question and the supplementary question referred to those developments.

Mr. Speaker

The hon. Member should have put down a Question with regard to those later developments. That is not what he asked in the Question on the Order Paper.
