HC Deb 18 November 1966 vol 736 c813
The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. George Brown)

With your permission, Mr. Speaker, I wish to make a personal statement to correct an injustice which I inadvertently did to the right hon. and learned Gentleman the Member for Warwick and Leamington (Sir J. Hobson).

When speaking in the debate on Gibraltar on 10th of November— HANSARD, columns 1612 and 1613—I referred to some advice tendered by a former Attorney-General. I wrongly attributed this advice to the right hon. and learned Gentleman. In fact, it was tendered by one of his predecessors in office.

Sir J. Hobson

May I say that I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman.
