HC Deb 07 March 1966 vol 725 c1718
65. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on what date the book on Special Operations Executive, French Section, will be published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office.

Mr. Stewart

The book is with the binders and publication is expected towards the end of April.

Dame Irene Ward

While thanking my right hon. Friend for that information—[HON. MEMBERS: "Hear, hear."]—may I ask him whether, since this was specially arranged for by a grant which Mr. Macmillan obtained from the Treasury for publication of the book, some acknowledgement will be made in the book of the part which he played in the interests of those whose records are to be put in the book?

Mr. Stewart

While not accepting the implication of the hon. Lady's introduction to her supplementary question, may I say that it is common knowledge that it was the decision of the last Government to publish this book, and reference will be made to that fact in the introduction.

Dame Irene Ward

On a point of order. Would I be in order, Mr. Speaker, in giving notice to raise the matter on the Adjournment in view of the tact that I arranged for Mr. Macmillan—

Mr. Speaker

Order. The hon. Lady has been in Parliament long enough to know how to give formal notice.
