§ Mr. P. Williamsasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will make a statement on the situation on the Aden frontiers.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydSince 10th December, there has been a renewal of disturbances caused by the Yemenis on the Aden Protectorate frontier. Recently 53W the Yemenis have begun to use artillery and heavy machine guns, firing across the boundary, even on one occasion against the escort of a medical officer carrying out a vaccination tour. The Protectorate Rulers and tribesmen, with the full support of our security forces, continue effectively to resist and deal with this aggression.
