HC Deb 17 June 1965 vol 714 c108W
62. Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the new coup d'état in Saigon establishing government by a military junta representing only a small fraction of the population, and having authority over only a small territorial area, he will now recall the British Ambassador in Saigon and suspend official British recognition.

Mr. M. Stewart

No. By a Proclamation on 12th June the Head of State of the Republic of Vietnam, the National Legislative Council and the Government of the Republic of Vietnam unanimously agreed to return their powers to the Armed Forces of the Republic of Vietnam.
