HC Deb 30 July 1958 vol 592 c130W
62. Mr. Foot

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government have now given further consideration to the terms of the reservation, notified to the Secretary-General of the United Nations on 18th April, 1957, whereby they withdrew from the sphere of compulsory jurisdiction disputes relating to any question which, in the opinion of the Government of the United Kingdom, affects the national security of the United Kingdom or any of its dependent territories; and whether he will make a statement on this matter.

Mr. Ian Harvey

This matter is still being considered. I regret, therefore, that I cannot at present add to what my right hon. and learned Friend said on this subject on 19th May.
