HC Deb 02 December 1963 vol 685 c132W
78. Mr. P. Noel-Baker

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will make a statement about the situation in Cambodia and Viet-Nam.

82. Mr. Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what reply he has given to the communication addressed to him as Co-Chairman of the Geneva Agreement by the Foreign Minister of Cambodia, proposing a nine-nation conference with the object of maintaining the neutrality of Cambodia.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I have received a message from the Cambodian Government proposing an International Conference to secure the neutrality of that country. This is being given careful and sympathetic consideration. There has not yet been time to complete the necessary detailed study of this proposal but the right hon. Gentleman may expect an early reply.

As regards Viet-Nam, I have nothing to add to my reply to the hon. Gentleman the Member for Leek (Mr. Harold Davies) on 27th November.
