Orders of the Day — Malta ( 2 Feb 1967)

Mr Tom Driberg: Anything that can be done to attract tourism from other parts of Europe—and of course Italy is very near—would be extremely welcome. One difficulty is that this very crisis is having an adverse effect already on tourism. Potential visitors are telephoning and asking, "Is it safe to come?", because they fear that there may be disturbances. A re-phasing of this exercise would cost a little...

Orders of the Day — Malta ( 2 Feb 1967)

Mr Tom Driberg: I am not sure whether that was a confidential discussion or not. My hon. Friend says that there was advance notice, but Dr. Borg Olivier told us that he was astonished to be told of this on the very eve of publication of the Defence Review and that when he asked the High Commissioner if he could delete the words about Malta, or have them modified, he was told that it was already in print and...

Orders of the Day — Malta ( 2 Feb 1967)

Mr Tom Driberg: And Germany?

Orders of the Day — Malta ( 2 Feb 1967)

Mr Tom Driberg: rose—

Orders of the Day — Malta ( 2 Feb 1967)

Mr Tom Driberg: May I put this question to my right hon. Friend before he concludes? I was very glad to hear him say that there is room for second thoughts on both sides. Does he mean that those second thoughts could cover some possible rephasing of the operation within the four years?

Oral Answers to Questions — Social Security: Bronchitis (30 Jan 1967)

Mr Tom Driberg: asked the Minister of Social Security (1) what is the approximate annual cost of the sickness benefits, supplementary benefits, and any other payments from public funds to persons suffering from chronic or occasional bronchial disorders; (2) what is the approximate annual cost in time and production lost of the absence from work of persons suffering from chronic or occasional bronchial disorders.

Malta (30 Jan 1967)

Mr Tom Driberg: Is my hon. Friend aware that it would be a very great pity if this were to degenerate into an ordinary interparty quarrel, since the concern to which the right hon. Gentleman the Member for Barnet (Mr. Maudling) referred, and the affection for Malta and its people, are felt equally on this side of the House? Is my hon. Friend aware that this is a tragic and potentially very dangerous...

Malta (Reduction of Forces) (24 Jan 1967)

Mr Tom Driberg: While all of us, on this side of the House anyway, welcome any defence cuts—the most drastic cuts possible in defence costs—is my right hon. Friend none the less aware that we realise that there is a dilemma here, since nobody wants to create massive unemployment in a small island to which we owe a great deal? Can he, therefore, say whether, apart from alternative employment in new...

Vietnam (18 Jan 1967)

Mr Tom Driberg: When my right hon. Friend says, as he did in his statement, that representation of the National Liberation Front is "not a real problem" in connection with peace talks, does he mean that that is now acceptable not only to the Americans, who originally rejected it, but also to the Saigon Government? Is he satisfied that his phrase will be understood in Hanoi, in Saigon, and by the National...

Oral Answers to Questions — Mauritius: Disturbances (20 Dec 1966)

Mr Tom Driberg: Since my hon. Friend has mentioned the unemployed, can he say, in view of the very high degree of chronic unemployment in Mauritius, whether some special arrangements can be made comparable with those for Malta?

Oral Answers to Questions — Vietnam (19 Dec 1966)

Mr Tom Driberg: asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what attempts have been made recently to negotiate a just and peaceful settlement in Vietnam.

Oral Answers to Questions — Vietnam (19 Dec 1966)

Mr Tom Driberg: Is it the view of Her Majesty's Government that progress towards peace or even towards a temporary truce is assisted by the bombing of Hanoi, and, if it is not the Government's view, will he make that clear to the Americans?

Oral Answers to Questions — Vietnam (19 Dec 1966)

Mr Tom Driberg: On a point of order. When I asked a supplementary question on Question No. 18, which was answered together with my own Question No. 83, my right hon. Friend would not answer it because, he said, it would be out of order to do so as he had Questions on bombing coming. May I ask—

Oral Answers to Questions — Vietnam (19 Dec 1966)

Mr Tom Driberg: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. When my right hon. Friend speaks of the war effort of both sides as being roughly equal, is not that a little unrealistic? Is it not only one side which is bombing with napalm and other horrors?

Civil Defence (14 Dec 1966)

Mr Tom Driberg: Does my right hon. Friend recall the Conservative Government's Defence White Paper in which it was stated that there could be no defence at all against a major nuclear attack, and does he intend to go on spending as much as £20 million a year on providing against what the hon. Member for Orpington (Mr. Lubbock) called civil disasters?

Civil Defence (14 Dec 1966)

Mr Tom Driberg: Leave it to the W.V.S.

Oral Answers to Questions — Vietnam (24 Nov 1966)

Mr Tom Driberg: asked the Prime Minister what exchanges he has had with the President of the United States of America since the President's Asian tour; and if, in view of the risk of the escalation of the war in Vietnam, he will urge the President once more to suspend the bombing of North Vietnam and at the same time renew his invitation to the Soviet Government to join with Her Majesty's Government in...

Oral Answers to Questions — Vietnam (24 Nov 1966)

Mr Tom Driberg: While all of us wish the Foreign Secretary well in his mission to Moscow, may I ask if the Prime Minister would not agree that peace offers may seem rather less plausible to Hanoi if simultaneously more and more American troops are poured into South Vietnam?

House of Commons Proceedings (Broadcasting) (24 Nov 1966)

Mr Tom Driberg: The hon. Lady the Member for Plymouth, Devonport (Dame Joan Vickers) spoke very severely about people who, she said, were "prejudiced" in favour of this project. I cannot say that I thought her speech entirely judicial in tone or content, but there is no reason why we should not be prejudiced one way or another—although I venture to suggest that it is better that one should be able to...

House of Commons Proceedings (Broadcasting) (24 Nov 1966)

Mr Tom Driberg: I agree with the right hon. and learned Gentleman that our ladies' hats are somewhat plainer and less flowery than those of his own ladies, although in my experience very few of our women delegates wear hats at all. However, that is perhaps not a very material point. The serious point about party conference experience, in so far as it is relevant—and I agree that there is no exact...
