§ 52. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Prime Minister to what extent he discussed Her Majesty's Government's decisions on nuclear tests and the strategy of nuclear warfare with the various Commonwealth Prime Ministers; and to what extent they expressed approval.
§ The Prime MinisterThese questions were naturally touched on in the course of my discussions of world problems with my Commonwealth colleagues. These are, of course, matters on which there are differences of approach among the different Governments of the Commonwealth.
§ Mr. HughesBut important questions were much more than touched upon. Can the Prime Minister tell us what advice was given him by Mr. Nehru upon the question of missiles and H-bombs?
§ The Prime MinisterNo, Sir. Since I had the good fortune to be a guest in his house, I had several long and important discussions with the Indian Prime Minister, but I think that it would be quite wrong—and I do not think that he would wish it either—that I should make a statement about the friendly and private discussions I had with him.
