§ 31. Mr. Brockwayasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will instruct his representative at the Security Council to place upon the agenda the present situation in North Africa as a possible danger to world peace.
§ Mr. BrockwayIn view of the grave doubts that General de Gaulle will be able to bring peace in Algeria and the danger that war may be extended to Morocco and Tunisia, is not it desirable that the British Government should foresee the grave consequences and seek under some international authority to bring about peace in that area?
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreI recognise that the hon. Gentleman tabled the Question on 26th May. Since then the situation has radically changed. [HON. MEMBERS: "Worsened."] The hon. Gentleman will be aware that the Security Council is at present seized of the difference of opinion between the Tunisian and French Governments. There has recently been a meeting of the Security Council, and it is now adjourned until, I think, 18th June.
