HC Deb 20 November 1956 vol 560 c64W
53. Mr. Warbey

asked the Prime Minister what reply he has made to the latest note from Marshal Bulganin.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I have been asked to reply. My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister today sent the following message to Mr. BulganinI have received your message of November 15. As you know, our purpose in intervening in the Middle East was to limit the effects of the conflict between Israel and Egypt. I advocated as long ago as November 1 the sending there of a United Nations force. We are glad to have United Nations Observers with us now. The world would welcome similar action by the Soviet Government in Hungary.
