  Mr. Somerset de Chair (Paddington, South)rose —

• Orders of the Day — Foreign Affairs 25 Jul 1951

  On a point of order. The right hon. Gentleman has just said that he did not wish this debate to cover the affairs of the Middle East, but that, for the convenience of the Committee, he would make a statement about Persia which he could equally have made as a statement to the House before the debate began, when he would then have been subjected to ordinary question and answer across the Floor...

• Orders of the Day — Foreign Affairs 25 Jul 1951
