HC Deb 17 June 1971 vol 819 c130W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will raise in the Security Council, as a threat to world peace, the recent rocket attack by a terrorist organisation upon the Liberian tanker "Coral Sea" in international waters in the Red Sea.

Mr. Anthony Royle

As a major shipping power, we deplore acts of violence against international shipping and, on the facts available, take a most serious view of this incident. We will keep the situation under close review but are not in favour of raising it at the Security Council.
