HC Deb 20 February 1967 vol 741 c199W
56. Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will raise the use of gas bombing by the Egyptians in the Yemen at the United Nations as a threat to peace.

Mr. George Thomson

As I said in reply to the hon. Gentleman the Member for Chigwell (Mr. Biggs-Davison) on 6th February, the Saudi Arabian Government have already asked the Secretary-General of the United Nations to intervene to prevent a recurrence of the use of poison gas. I do not think there would be any advantage in a separate initiative on the part of Her Majesty's Government.—[Vol. 740, c.213.]
