HC Deb 17 February 1965 vol 706 c233W
Mr. Kershaw

asked the Prime Minister whether the public Press interview given by the Minister of Defence for the Army on 21st January in London about Indonesian threats represents the policy of Her Majesty's Government.

The Prime Minister

There was misunderstanding at home and abroad of an interview given by my right hon. Friend on 20th January particularly in relation to the timing and scope of the Indonesian reinforcements. My right hon. Friend issued a statement on 22nd January which clarified the position. This fully reflected the Government's policy on the Indonesian threat to Malaysia.
