§ 76. Mr. Bennasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on what date the United States Government warned Her Majesty's Government of the possibility of an Israeli attack on Egypt; and what action Her Majesty's Government took on this to consult with the United States and French Governments under the provisions of the Tripartite Declaration.
§ Mr. Dodds-ParkerHer Majesty's Government received no advance warning from the United States Government of the possibility of an Israel attack on Egypt. The United States Government did, however, call for Tripartite consultations on 28th October in view of the Israel mobilisation. On the result of these I have nothing to add to what my right hon. and learned Friend told the House on 31st October.
