HC Deb 15 April 1957 vol 568 c166W
53. Mr. B. Harrison

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will make representations through the country watching our interests in Egypt to support the Australian and New Zealand protest concerning the desecration of the A.N.Z.A.C. Memorial at Port Said.

Mr. Ian Harvey

The A.N.Z.A.C. Memorial at Port Said was set up jointly by the Australian and New Zealand Governments. It is primarily a matter for these Governments to protest to the Egyptian authorities. Nevertheless, Her Majesty's Government fully share the feelings of indignation that have been aroused by this wanton act of desecration.
