Colonel CLAUDE LOWTHER: Before the right hon. Gentleman replies, may I have an answer to a question of which I have given him private notice—whether he will give the House an opportunity of discussing the Anglo-French Crisis, in view of the grave danger to the Entente caused by the answer of the British Government?

As I once heard an American General say of de Gaulle at the height of the French Crisis, we wish him no ill; we wish him a long, happy and contented retirement.
