HC Deb 03 July 1967 vol 749 cc172-3W
68. Mr. G. Campbell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will make a statement on the latest position in Aden.

Mr. George Thomson

There has been no further trouble in the Federal forces. The situation in the Crater district remains difficult. It owes much to the atmosphere created by the Israeli defeat of Egypt and present efforts are to resolve it without further loss of life. Meanwhile, Her Majesty's Government and the Federal Government are continuing their urgent discussion of constitutional changes which would facilitate the formation of a broader Government and national reconciliation.
