§ 57. Mr. Rankinasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will cause the United States of America to withdraw their naval contingent from Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong, in view of the further contribution which this would make to the prospects of peace in Vietnam.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsNo. The only United States naval vessels in Victoria Harbour at any time are those visiting the Colony for short periods of rest and recreation. It is not considered that these visits have any connection with the prospects of peace in Vietnam.
