...Provocation. The Labor benches bristled in anticipation as Eden began to elaborate. The association, he said, would ask Nasser to let its ships pass through the canal. "If the Egyptian government should seek to interfere ["Deliberate provocation!" cried a Laborite] with the operations of the association or refuse to extend to it the essential minimum of cooperation, then that government will once more be in breach of the Convention of 1888."
