HC Deb 22 January 1968 vol 757 c11W
59. Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the risk of officers and men of the Royal Navy being brought before the courts for the illegal use of force on the high seas off Beira in pursuance of the present resolution of the United Nations, he will seek at the United Nations to obtain the assent of all the permanent members of the Security Council to the resolution.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

No. There is no doubt of the legality of action taken in pursuance of the Resolution which the hon. Member has in mind.
