§ 57. Mr. Boydasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government will seek the authority of a resolution of the United Nations Assembly to supply food to those in particular need of it in Hungary at the present time, either by land or, if this should be prevented, by dropping supplies from aircraft in selected areas.
§ Mr. Dodds-ParkerThere are practical and legal difficulties in sending aircraft over Hungary without the consent of the authorities there, but the hon. Member's point is already met as supplies are now reaching the Hungarians through the International Red Cross, which is the body best fitted to ensure their proper distribution.
