HC Deb 28 November 1955 vol 546 c169W
84. Viscount Hinchingbrooke

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether it was with his authority that the official statement was issued by his Department on 22nd November on the reported remarks of Marshal Bulganin in India.

86. Mr. Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the recent statement made by a Foreign Office spokesman attacking the Prime Minister of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was made with his authority; and why such a statement was not made in the House of Commons.

Mr. Turton

The statement in question was made by a member of the Foreign Office in answer to a question put at the daily Foreign Office Press conference. It could therefore not have been made in the House of Commons.
