Mr. Latham askedthe Lord Privy Seal whether he will outline the factors which led the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs not to deliver page 13 of his typed speech to the Conservative Friends of Israel in London on 2 November; and whether that page is also to be taken as representing the official policy of his Department.
§ Mr. Humphrey AtkinsMy right hon. and noble Friend omitted one page from the typed version circulated beforehand for reasons connected with the overall shape of the speech. The authorised text of the speech is the text delivered. However, the page omitted is fully in accordance with Government policy.
