The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs informed the House of Commons that ,thanks to the statesmanship of General Catroux and the commendable calm of the local population, constitutional government had been established in Lebanon, and that the local situation was normal again. The present desire of the British Government was to see an understanding reached between the Lebanese Government and the French authorities, which would enable constitutional development to proceed in an orderly and agreed manner as soon as possible.
