HC Deb 24 June 1959 vol 607 cc133-4W
27. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will make a statement on the operation of the United Nations contingents now in the Middle East; and to what extent they have been involved in, or have reported, frontier incidents during recent weeks.

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

Both the United Nations Truce Supervision Organisation and the United Nations Emergency Force report to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, who alone could give an authoritative answer to the hon. Member. I can however say that, from the sources of information available to Her Majesty's Government, there have been comparatively few incidents over the last few months. No situation has arisen which the Secretary-General has thought necessary to report to the United Nations.
