86. Mr. A. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the threat to peace, he will make a statement on the present situation on the borders of Indonesia and Malaysia, following recent Indonesian aggression on Malaysian territory.

Mr. R. A. Butler

As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence told the House on 22nd June, Indonesian guerrilla operations against Malaysia have continued and even increased, in spite of Malaysian and Philippine attempts to reach a political settlement.

We shall continue to give every assistance to the Malaysian Government necessary to enable their security forces, supported by our troops, to repulse these Indonesian incursions.
