It has been said in this Debate, and it is continually repeated, that the Crisis of Last Summer was due to the inefficiency of the Labour Government, or rather, to loss of confidence by various nations in that Labour Government.

I think the House understands that the economic Crisis of Last Summer did require some restraint on overseas expenditure of all kinds.

Secondly, in view of the behaviour of the East German Government and East German troops during the Czech Crisis of Last Summer, will my hon. Friend indicate what protection exists for members of the United Nations, including Czechoslovakia, Britain, Franceand the United States, against provocative action take by East German troops?

In particular, we do not wish to witness again the sudden Crisis of Last Summer, with tens of thousands of angry and disappointed holidaymakers in the United Kingdom with little or no hope of getting their money back, all the worries and uncertainties, and the threat of harassment in foreign lands to which thousands of our fellow citizens were subjected - a situation for which last summer there was no adequate remedy.
