§ 56. Mr. Wallasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will raise the use of gas bombing by the Egyptians in the Yemen at the United Nations as a threat to peace.

Gentleman the Member for Chigwell (Mr. Biggs-Davison) on 6th February, the Saudi Arabian Government have already asked the Secretary-General of the United Nations to intervene to prevent a recurrence of the use of poison gas. I do not think there would be any advantage in a separate initiative on the part of Her Majesty's Government.—[Vol. 740, c.213.]
