HC Deb 27 November 1957 vol 578 c116W
38. Mr. Peyton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will raise the question of the Arab refugees in the General Assembly of the United Nations with a view to achieving a permanent and acceptable settlement.

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

As the House has been informed on previous occasions, we shall play our part as members of the United Nations in seeking a solution of the Palestine problem on a basis of justice; and a settlement of the refugees is an essential condition of a final settlement.

On the point of procedure, I have nothing to add for the moment to what I said to the right hon. Member for Derby, South (Mr. P. Noel-Baker) in the course of the debate on 8th November.
