| Notes | News: 2 Nov: There was uproar in the House of Commons after Mr Head, the new Minister of Defence, had reported bombing attacks by British aircraft and the sinking of an Egyptian frigate, and after Mr Gaitskell vehemently presses the Prime Minister to state whether a declaration of war had been made by the UK. Mr Eden later replied that there had been no declaration of war but there was a state of armed conflict to which the Geneva Convention of 1949 applied. |
