§ Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Lord Privy Seal what protests have been made at the violation of the Northern Rhodesia 54W frontier by United Nations military aircraft; and what assurance Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom has given the Government of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland of support for all necessary measures to secure the integrity of Federal territory from United Nations forces.
§ Mr. P. ThomasAt the request of the Federal authorities, our Representative at the United Nations, on 5th and 11th of January, brought to the attention of the Secretariat two instances in which United Nations aircraft had flown over Federal territory. The United Nations expressed regret over the incidents. They explained that one was due to bad weather and a faulty navigation instrument, and the other to cloud conditions. The Secretariat added that very strict instructions had been given to all pilots of United Nations aircraft to keep away from the Federal border. For the rest I am not aware of any threat to Federal territory from United Nations forces.
