§ Mr. Lathamasked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will list the areas of the world which are regarded officially by 138W Her Majesty's Government as being under military occupation by a foreign power, whether with or without the consent of local inhabitants; and in what circumstances United Kingdom Ministers or senior diplomats are prepared to enter those areas on official business.
§ Mr. Humphrey AtkinsWhether and in what sense any particular area is to be regarded as under military occupation by a foreign power depends on the circumstances in each case. It would not be useful to treat together, as if they formed a single category, the various situations which might possibly be regarded as falling within the scope of this question.
