§ Mr. Geoffrey Finsbergasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has received from the United Nations Association inviting him to invoke Article 34 (Chapter 6) of the United Nations Charter in relation to tension on the Indian/Pakistan border.
§ Mr. Anthony RoyleA number of letters have been received from branches of the United Nations Association and one from the Director of the Association, Mr. Donald Tweddle, suggesting that United Nations observers should be stationed on both sides of the border between India and East Pakistan. I doubt whether it would be useful to invoke Article 34 at present, but we certainly do not rule out the possibility of Security Council action at some stage and we shall bear the suggestion in mind.
