§ 60. Mr. Platts-Millsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs when it is proposed to make public the details of the production and export targets and investment programme of the Four-Year Plan relating to Western Germany recently submitted to the O.E.E.C. in Paris.
§ Mr. MayhewThe final version of the bizonal programme will be published as soon as practicable after the conclusion of the discussions in Paris. It will be appreciated that all the individual programmes recently submitted are in the nature of working documents for the preparation of a comprehensive programme and as such subject to modification in the light of the discussions in the O.E.E.C.
§ Mr. Platts-MillsIn view of the general apprehension in the country that the plan for Germany is to have priority in many senses over the plan for Britain itself, does not my right hon. Friend think it desirable that the working documents themselves should be submitted to Parliament before they are finally adopted?
§ Mr. MayhewThere is no such priority and no such apprehension. The question, therefore, does not arise.
