§ 63. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Lord Privy Seal if he is aware that there have recently been clashes between United Nations and Katanga forces; what measures have been taken to prevent a renewal of hostilities; and why United Nations troops recently stopped all railway traffic between Elisabethville and Jadotville.
§ Mr. P. ThomasSince the beginning of this year three or four minor incidents have taken place. None of them has involved fatal casualties. I understand that they have been discussed between the United Nations and Katanga Commanders. There are no signs of a renewal of hostilities. Although the United Nations inspect railway traffic at Elisabethville, I have no knowledge of any recent stoppage there.
