§ 25. Mr. Shinwellasked the Minister of Defence what alterations in the military disposition of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation forces are contemplated in view of the French situation.
§ Mr. SandysI am not aware of any.
§ Mr. ShinwellCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether the French commitment in Algeria, which is likely to continue for some time, will effect no change in the military dispositions of N.A.T.O.? Is he in constant touch with the Supreme Commander on this subject?
§ Mr. SandysThe Algerian situation is, of course, not a new one. With regard to the general question, I have every confidence that France will, as always, faithfully discharge her international obligations.
