HC Deb 25 March 1957 vol 567 cc79-80W
72. Mr. A. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will instruct his representative at the United Nations to propose that the Secretary-General during his visit to the Middle East should urge President Nasser to cease the mass expulsions of Jews from Egyptian territory.

Commander Noble

No. Mr. Hammarskjöld's visit to the Middle East is already taking place and is mainly concerned with the questions of the Suez Canal and Gaza and Aqaba. But I am sure that he has in mind those principles of the United Nations and of the Declaration of Human Rights that have been so sadly ignored by Egypt.
