HC Deb 08 March 1956 vol 549 c2313
The Prime Minister (Sir Anthony Eden)

Sir, I will, with permission, make a short statement on the report of the Conference of Privy Councillors on security.

A White Paper is being published summarising such of the contents of the report as can properly be made public, and copies will be available in the Vote Office immediately. The Government have decided to give effect to all the recommendations which the Conference have made.

I should like to express the Government's gratitude to the noble Lord, the Lord Chancellor, and the other noble Lords and right hon. Gentlemen in this House who took part in the conference for the thoroughness and despatch with which they have performed their task.

Mr. Gaitskell

While I must naturally reserve any comment until after I have had an opportunity of looking at the White Paper, I should like to associate my right hon. and hon. Friends with the thanks given by the Prime Minister to those who have done this job. They certainly worked extremely fast, and they must have worked very hard, too.
