§ 81. Mr. Scholefield Allenasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why Mr. Valentine Lawford, representing Great Britain on the Security Council of U.N.O., proposed that the Security Council should drop the Indonesian question, pending further inquiry; why, instead of supporting the lead of the Australian and Indian delegates in their call for a cessation of fighting and resort to arbitration, Britain abstained from voting in favour of the resolution; and why Great Britain failed to support the 192W stand of U.N.O. which brought about the end of the fighting in Indonesia.
