HC Deb 06 February 1967 vol 740 cc215-6W
84. Mr. Sydney Silverman

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the recent attacks of United States troops in the area of South Vietnam known as the Iron Triangle amount to genocide; whether Her Majesty's Government stands by its support of the United Nations Declaration against genocide; and whether he will make clear to the United States Government that Her Majesty's Government does not support the United States Government in waging this war by such methods.

Mr. George Brown

On the first and last parts of this Question I have nothing to add to what I said about this sort of operation in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Salford, West (Mr. Orme) on 18th January [Vol. 739, c. 434.]. Our attitude to Genocide needs no further explanation and I have nothing to add to my right hon. Friend the Minister of State's reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Leicester, North-West, (Sir B. Janner) on 15th November 1965 [Vol. 736, c. 679] and the reply given by my hon. and learned Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Office on 26th January this year.—[Vol. 739, c. 1751].
