§ 29. Mr. Warbeyasked the Lord Privy Seal in how many cases, since 1954, the International Commission for Supervision and Control in Vietnam has recorded a failure to comply with the provisions of the Geneva Agreement on the part of the authorities of North and South Vietnam, respectively; and in how many cases, for each authority respectively, the Commission has recorded a failure to provide the information or facilities requested by the Commission.
§ Mr. HeathThe information is contained in the published reports of the International Commission for Supervision and Control, of which copies are available in the Library of the House.
§ 30. Mr. Warbeyasked the Lord Privy Seal whether he has yet received the Eleventh Interim Report of the International Commission for Supervision and Control in Vietnam.
§ 40. Mr. Healeyasked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will raise the situation in Vietnam in the United Nations as representing a threat to peace.
§ Mr. HeathThe international machinery set up as a result of the Geneva Conference of 1954 still exists and I do not consider it would be 49W appropriate to take such a step until all possibilities of using that machinery have been exhausted.
§ Mr. Harold Daviesasked the Lord Privy Seal what are the present British commitments in South Vietnam; and whether he will give an assurance that no British troops will be used or stationed in South Vietnam.
§ Mr. HeathOur commitments to South Vietnam arise from our membership of the South-East Asia Treaty Organisation and are set out in the Manila Treaty. The answer to the second part of the Question is No.
