HC Deb 08 February 1956 vol 548 c178W
71. Mr. Callaghan

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to what extent it is still the policy of Her Majesty's Government to notify the Egyptian Government of the intention of British ships to sail to the port of Elath.

Mr. Nutting

The present position is that notifications of British ships intending to enter the Gulf of Aqaba are made direct by the shipowners.
