May I congratulate the right hon. and learned Gentleman on sticking to his job when the Prime Minister is trying to hypnotise the Tory women? Is he aware that, while the Government refuse to appoint an official historian of the Suez affair, this job has been undertaken by a professor of Chicago University and that he said about the right hon. and learned Gentleman that on 22nd October Ben Gurion, the Prime Minister of Israel, made a secret visit to France where at a conference held until 26th October he conferred with top French Government leaders and Selwyn Lloyd". Does not the right hon. and learned Gentleman think that he owes some explanation to the House?
