§ 7. Mr. Hyndasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what renewed offer has been made recently to the French Government for an Anglo-French Union; and what was the reception given to this offer by the French Government.
§ Mr. EdenNo such renewed offer has been made to the French Government. The second part of the Question does not, therefore, arise.
§ Mr. HyndDo not the Government consider that the time has now arrived when they ought to make a fresh approach to the French Government; or are they convinced that circumstances are so different now, from what they were in 1940, that such an offer is no longer desirable?
§ Mr. EdenI think the hon. Member will agree that there are differences between the two situations, and that what is now being discussed is the possibility of an arrangement of another kind.
