Mr. A. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will give an assurance that the comments by British official spokesmen on the recent speeches of Marshal Bulganin and Mr. Khrushchev were made after a study of texts of the speeches.

Mr. Turton

Yes. The versions of these speeches originally telegraphed by British agencies and correspondents have been confirmed by other sources, Indian, Burmese and Communist. Mr. Khrushchev's statement about "savages" in his speech at Rangoon on 2nd December was omitted fromPravda's account of the speech but confirmed in the Czechoslovak newspaper Rude Pravo.
