§ Mr. BlackburnMay I, Mr. Speaker, with your permission, ask a Question on business? May I ask whether a statement will be made here about the matter which was discussed by the Prime Minister last night, and whether the Government will, at some stage of the proceedings, enable us to know what answer has been given by President Truman?
§ The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Mr. Ede)I have had no notice that this question was likely to be asked, but I heard on the wireless at 11 o'clock last night that the President of the United States had expressed his pleasure at the suggestion that the Prime Minister should visit that country, and I have heard nothing to contradict that.
