HC Deb 19 November 1952 vol 507 cc1862-3
47. Mr. Wyatt

asked the Prime Minister whether he will arrange to visit the United States of America to confer with Mr. Eisenhower before his inauguration as President; or whether he will invite Mr. Eisenhower to visit this country on his return from Korea.

The Prime Minister

Mr. Wyatt

The Prime Minister
