39. Mr. Cyril D. Townsend

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will make a statement on the visit of the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to Israel.

Mr. Hurd

I refer the hon. Member and my hon. Friends to the reply I gave earlier today to my hon. Friend the Member for Melton (Mr. Latham).

Mr. Latham

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether Her Majesty's Government consider that any legally valid instruments in international law since the conclusion of the armistice agreements in 1949 have been made and deposited which purport to define the de facto or de jure borders of the belligerent powers which contested that area of the former mandate in Palestine which is now either legally the State of Israel, or under Israel's military administration; and if so, whether he will list them.

Mr. Hurd

The borders of Egypt, Syria and Lebanon with the territory in question have been defined for many years, but only Egypt's has recently been the subject of an international agreement.
