§ Mr. R. AllanSo far from failing to recognise the Saudi Arabian Government, Her Majesty's Government have, on many occasions, made it clear that they would welcome the restoration of the diplomatic relations broken off by the Saudi Arabian Government in November, 1956.
§ Mr. YatesWill the Minister tell us what reasons the Saudi Government are giving to Her Majesty's Government at present for refusing to have diplomatic relations with us?
