HC Deb 16 November 1970 vol 806 cc303-4W
67. Mr. Goodhart

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will seek to recover part of the cost of British-owned or British insured aircraft recently destroyed in the Middle East from those countries which harbour the hijackers involved.

No. In all the circumstances of this case Her Majesty's Government do not intend to pursue a claim against the Jordanian Government in respect of the British-owned aircraft.
