§ 7. Mr. E. Fletcherasked the Secretary of State for Air if he will make a statement on his official discussions with Mr. Khrushchev during his recent visit to Moscow.
§ Mr. SoamesMy right hon. Friend had no formal discussions but certain matters of common interest were discussed.
§ Mr. FletcherApparently the hon. Gentleman's right hon. Friend had some informal and unofficial talks with Mr. Khrushchev about which various reports have been given. Could he persuade his right hon. Friend to give us an account of what happened then?
§ Mr. SoamesNo, Sir. My right hon. Friend had no formal discussions. The discussions that did take place were in private, and I doubt very much whether he would wish to make a statement about them.
