HC Deb 08 December 1948 vol 459 c60W
94. Mr. Low

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will give an assurance that His Majesty's Government will not recognise the existence of Israel nor support Israel's application for membership of the United Nations organisation until Ceylon, Eire, Transjordan and Portugal have been admitted to membership of U.N.O.

Mr. Mayhew

His Majesty's Government have always adhered to the view that applications for membership of the United Nations must be considered individually on the basis of the criteria laid down in Article IV of the Charter.
