§ 66. Mr. A. Hendersonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the latest acts of aggression against Malaysia by Indonesian forces, he will instruct the United Kingdom representative on the Security Council to bring the present situation to the attention of the Security Council under Article 35 of the Charter, as a threat to peace.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerThe Indonesian guerrillas are operating on Malaysian territory. It is therefore for Malaysia to take the decision and the initiative over action in the United Nations.
We are naturally in close touch with the Malaysian Government on this as on all other aspects of the situation arising from Indonesia's hostility, which has obliged us to commit our forces under our defence agreement.
