§ Mrs. McKayasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in view of Her Majesty's Government's policy that war should not lead to territorial aggrandisement and that the State of Israel should not take any steps in relation to Jerusalem which would conflict with this principle, if he will give an assurance that the appointment of a representative to Her Majesty's Government to attend the Balfour Declaration celebrations in the Israeli-occupied Jordanian city of Jerusalem does not confer ipso facto recognition by Her Majesty's Government of Israel's occupation of Jerusalem; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. William RodgersNone of the celebrations at which Her Majesty's Government was represented took place in East Jerusalem. The question of recognition by Her Majesty's Government of Israel's occupation of this part of Jerusalem does not therefore arise.
