HC Deb 12 November 1958 vol 595 c36W
58. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the position now on the Yemen-British Protectorate border; what border fighting has taken place during the last three months; and how far have any negotiations occurred between the Yemen and the British Government on outstanding disputes.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

There was a serious incident on 6th September. Since then I am glad to say that the situation has been comparatively quiet. I am continuing to work through diplomatic channels to improve the frontier situation and to prevent incidents.
