HC Deb 01 December 1953 vol 521 c951
48. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Prime Minister whether he will discuss with President Eisenhower at Bermuda questions arising out of the Soviet pos session of a hydrogen bomb and its international implications.

The Prime Minister

In the course of the conversations between the President of the United States, the French Premier and myself at Bermuda, many subjects may come up for discussion.

Mr. Hughes

Will the Prime Minister take this opportunity of impressing on the President of the United States and the French Prime Minister that a war with H bombs and atom bombs would be a catastrophe for both the capitalist and the Communist worlds? Will he impress on them the necessity of meeting the Russians and doing something to avert this possibility?

The Prime Minister

Many of these ideas are already current in the world and on the other side of the ocean.
