§ 38. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of he will make a further statement clarifying the general policy of Her Majesty's Government in relation to the present troubles in the Lebanon.
Commander NobleI have nothing to add to the answer which my right hon. and learned Friend gave on this subject on 2nd July.
§ Mr. HughesWilt thou slay the Lebanese as thou didst the Egyptians yesterday, or will the Government give an undertaking that they will not again infringe the principles of the United Nations as they did at Suez?
§ Mr. C. DaviesDoes not the policy of Her Majesty's Government require immediate reconsideration in view of the events that are happening in Iraq, as well as, possibly, in the Middle East generally?
Commander NobleI understand that my right hon. and learned Friend will be answering a Question later about Iraq.
