HC Deb 21 February 1951 vol 484 c1273
17. Mr. E. Fletcher

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will publish the text of the Pleven plan for a European Army as presented to the Conference on European Defence now taking place in Paris.

Mr. Ernest Davies

No, Sir. It is for the French Government, who have presented the plan, to publish it if they so wish.

Mr. Fletcher

As considerable extracts have appeared in the American Press would it not be for the convenience of the House to have a copy in the Library?

Mr. Davies

It may be that that copy was not marked "Top Secret," as was the copy I have seen.
