(2) whether he will arrange for photographic copies of the ships flying log and daily routine orders for the dates 5th, 6th and 7th June of all Her Majesty's aircraft carriers which were, on these dates, within 1,000 miles radius of a circle including Gaza, Alexandria and Cairo, to be deposited in the Library of the House of Commons.
§ Mr. HealeyIn the interests of national security copies of this type of document cannot normally be made available. But in view of the importance of demonstrating the falsity of recent charges of British collusion in Israeli air operations, and of the fact that the United Kingdom has offered to provide the United Nations with all the information necessary to disprove these charges, I am arranging for copies of the relevant documents to be placed in the Library.
