Alert me about debates like this

Mr. Eden:

Yes, Sir. I think I remarked before that I hoped that the result of the agreement will be that we shall be able to move forward to a general relaxation of tension throughout the Middle East. I do not believe that we could have made any progress as long as the whole situation was complicated by the Egyptian question. Now there is an agreement, we will do our best.
