HC Deb 23 March 1965 vol 709 cc72-3W
127. Mr. Patrick Wall

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a further statement about the security position in Aden.

Mr. Greenwood

There has been no diminution in the terrorist campaign in Aden organised by the so-called National Liberation Front since my hon. Friend's statement on this question on 11th February. Since that date there have been 24 terrorist attacks in Aden which have resulted in the deaths of 3 Arabs and one British Serviceman and injuries to 15 other people. As I informed the right hon. Member for Preston, North (Mr. J. Amery), on 16th March, further security measures have been taken and will be taken as and when required. I am, of course, reviewing the situation with the High Commissioner while he is here.
