§ Lord BYERSMy Lords, I beg leave to !ask Her Majesty's Government a Question of which I have given them Private Notice; namely, whether they will make a Statement about the British subjects on board the four ships held in the Suez Canal, and what provision is being made to ensure their safety?
§ Lord SHEPHERDMy Lords, with permission, my noble friend Lord Chalfont will reply to the noble Lord's Private Notice Question in perhaps 10 or 15 minutes time.
