§ Sir T. Beamishasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much land which was not allotted to Israel in the United Nations partition would become part of Israel on the implementation of the Security Council's Resolution of 22nd November, 1967; and what percentage increase this would represent.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsIt would be neither practical nor helpful to engage at this juncture in calculations of this sort.
The Security Council Resolution lays down certain principles which are required for the establishment of a just and lasting peace. These include
withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflictand the right of every side in the area to live in peace within "secure and recognised boundaries". These boundaries will be determined in the context of a general settlement.
§ Viscount Lambtonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to what extent implementation of the Security Council's Resolution of 22nd November, 1967, provides for the increase of Israel's territory.
