HC Deb 01 February 1965 vol 705 c207W
61. Mr. G. Campbell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what consultations Her Majesty's Government have had with other Governments about the readiness for urgent rescue operations in disturbed areas of the world where the lives of United Kingdom and other nationals become endangered.

Mr. George Thomson

It is the responsibility of every Government to protect nationals of other States within its territories.

The Government have much in mind the dangers confronting British subjects in some regions and have consulted with friendly Governments whenever the need has arisen.
