No. 497 NAI DFA/5/313/31/B
Confidential report from Con Cremin to Seán Murphy (Dublin)
'British withdrawal from Suez'
(Confidential) (Copy)
London, 26 November 1956

While there is a lack of precision as to the exact conditions which the Government would like to see fulfilled before withdrawal, these certainly go much further than anything the United Nations envisage.
