HC Deb 01 June 1967 vol 747 cc58-9W
Sir T. Beamish

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will now take the initiative at the United Nations to propose an investigation of the evidence that poison gas has been used by the United Arab Republic in the Yemen.

Mr. George Thomson

Her Majesty's Government has no diplomatic representation in the Republic of the Yemen and therefore is not in a position to have direct evidence of these allegations. In these circumstances it would not be appropriate for Her Majesty's Government to take the initiative suggested at the United Nations.
