55. Mr. Snow

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make a statement on the present policy of Her Majesty's Government towards Tunisia; and whether all aid possible will now be given to assist that country in its efforts to secure its defence according to its reasonable requirements.

64. Mr. Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the present policy of Her Majesty's Government towards Tunisia; and if further aid will be given to that country to secure its defence according to reasonable requirements.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

It continues to be the desire of Her Majesty's Government to maintain the close and friendly relations which we happily now enjoy with Tunisia.

So far as defence is concerned, the Tunisian Government have sought our agreement to the purchase of certain arms in this country and we have agreed.
