ILONDON. Dec. s (Heaters)-

speech mans on Wednesday by Foreign secrethry Selwyn Lloyd: I want to try to deal with certain matters which have been raised in this House about the past events and first of all with the questions which have been asked on the aueged collusion. I repeat the answer which I gave to the House on the frontiers between Israel and the Arab states we have been accused of being in collusion with the is- raeils about it. That allegati has been broadcast from Radio Cairo every time.

it is quite wrong to state that Israel was incited to this action by Her Majesty's Government. Then wa.-'.lo prior agreement h t as about it. '

It is true that we were well aware of the possibility of trouble ....on son: October. we heard from our representative in Tel Aviv of the Israeli mobilisation. It was not known than whether it was partial or total and instructions w e sent on ma October to Her M:-3aaty's ambassador at Tel Aviv to make representations to Israel on the matter '

Ha pointed out that if there were an Israsli attack on Jordan. the United Kingdom would be bound to intervene in accordance with tho Anglo-Joardan party.

He also urged restraint of Is- rael in other directions because it was quite obvious that if Israel did attack one of
