HC Deb 23 January 1967 vol 739 cc190-1W
Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will raise in the United Nations as a threat to peace the crimes against humanity now being waged by Egyptian aircraft against the Yemen with consequent killing, wounding and blinding of civilians.

Mr. George Thomson

I assume that the hon. Member has in mind reports in the Press of the use of poison gas by United Arab Republic forces in the Yemen. Her Majesty's Government are at present evaluating the information which has reached them. These inquiries are not yet complete.
