§ 46. Mr. Doddsasked the Prime Minister what progress has been made during the Parliamentary Recess for a high-level meeting by representatives of the United States of America, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and this country in a new bid for peace.
§ The Prime MinisterI am not in a position to say that any progress has been made since the answer I gave to the hon. and learned Gentleman the Member for Aberdeen, North (Mr. Hector Hughes) on 16th June.
§ Mr. DoddsIn view of the right hon. Gentleman's enthusiasm in 1950 and 1951 for such a meeting, will the Prime Minister state what he himself has done in the meantime to make it a practical proposition, or does he not now think that his enthusiasm was misplaced before the two elections?
§ The Prime MinisterI should not like to deal with such a complicated issue as that in answer to a supplementary question.
