Alert me about debates like this

Mr. Wilson:

The assurance given by the noble Lord the Earl of Avon at the end of 1956 was simply a plain statement that there had been no collusion. Is the right hon. and learned Gentleman aware that at that time no one had suggested in the House, and there would have been a lot of interest if anyone had, that the right hon. and learned Gentleman himself had been over for these secret meetings in the planning of the Suez operation? Does he not owe it to himself and to the House to clear himself of these statements or admit that they are true?
