asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he remains satisfied with the protection of British subjects in Uganda; and if he will make a statement.

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave on 16th March to the hon. Member for Eastbourne (Mr. Gow)—[Vol. 928, c. 186]—and to the statement my right hon. Friend made during the debate on Uganda on 27th May.—[Vol. 932, c. 1784.]In view of the Ugandan Government's insistence that the French Government cease to protect British interests in Uganda, the staff of the British Interests Section in Kampala have been withdrawn.
