HC Deb 24 March 1949 vol 463 cc64-5W
Mr. Piratin

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why His Majesty's Government's representative on the Security Council did not support the Israeli application for membership of the United Nations.

Mr. Mayhew

The reasons for which His Majesty's Government instructed the United Kingdom representative so to act were made clear in the latter's speech at the 414th Meeting of the Security Council on 4th March. I am sending the hon. Member a copy of the Verbatim Record.
