§ 44. Mr. Youngerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what military operations have occurred in recent weeks on the Aden-Yemeni border; and what negotiations are in progress for the settlement of disputes in this area.
§ Commander NobleThere has been a diminution of activity on the Aden-Yemen border in recent weeks. However, air action had to be taken in mid-June against a small Yemeni force which had established itself on a hill in Aden Protectorate territory, and a protest was made on 19th June to the Yemen Government. Negotiations are still in progress with the Yemen Government for a meeting to discuss the settlement of existing differences.
