§ 23. Mr. Frank R. Whiteasked the Lord Privy Seal if he will raise at the United Nations the threat posed to the position of the UNIFIL force by the actions of the Palestine Liberation Organisation following the murder of two Fijian UNIFIL soldiers in the Lebanon by that organisation.
§ Mr. HurdNo. The president of the Security Council has already issued a statement condemning the murders of the Fijian soldiers as an outrage. Her Majesty's Government are fully in sympathy with the statement and deplore any violence directed against members of UNIFIL. Her Majesty's Government's view that UNIFIL would be better able to fulfil its mandate in South Lebanon if it were not subject to harassment from either side is well known.
