HC Deb 01 April 1957 vol 568 c7W
88. Mr. Shinwell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will make a statement on the result of the negotiations between the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Egyptian Government on the free passage of all vessels through the Suez Canal.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

Not yet.

95. Mr. Fell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what action he now proposes to take to ensure the compliance with the Security Council resolution of 13th October concerning the Suez Canal, in order to safeguard the free passage through the canal of ships of all flags, including those trading with, or under the flag of, Israel.

101. Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will now request the United Nations organisation to call upon Egypt to comply with the Security Council's demand that she should allow Israeli shipping to pass through the Suez Canal.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

The debate we are to have today will no doubt cover these points and I would ask the hon. Members to await it.
