HC Deb 11 February 1963 vol 671 c137W
Captain Kerby

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether, in regard to the accession of Aden to the Federation of South Arabia, a secession clause is to be written into the Federal Constitution; or whether the enlarged Federation is to be regarded as viable and inviolate against unilateral secession.

Mr. Sandys

This matter is dealt with in Article X of the Treaty of Accession signed on 16th January, the text of which was presented in draft to Parliament in Command Paper 1814.
