Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Prime Minister, further to his answer of 18 March,Official Report, columns 3–4, on what consideration the Government based their decision to recognise the right of Indonesia to self-determination.

The Prime Minister

My earlier reply referred to the right of self-defence under international law. All states have the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence.
