HC Deb 16 May 1957 vol 570 c572
51. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Prime Minister if he will make a statement on his official visit to Germany.

The Prime Minister

I would refer the hon. Gentleman to the communiqué which was issued.

Mr. Hughes

While the Prime Minister was in Germany, was he conscious of the growing anxiety among the German people that Germany might be destroyed if it became a battlefield in a future nuclear war? What steps did he take to allay that disquiet?

The Prime Minister

I think that the anxiety about what would be the effect of total nuclear war is not limited to Germany. These are the terrible issues at stake. I think that in my discussions with Dr. Adenauer we reached a very high measure of understanding and agreement.
