HC Deb 15 April 1959 vol 603 cc1022-3
26. Mr. S. Silverman

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what suggestions have been made by the French Government concerning a modification of the French position in regard to British policies in Europe, in exchange for some form of British support or at least acquiescence towards French policies in North Africa.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

None, Sir.

Mr. Silverman

Will the right hon. and learned Gentleman assure the House that the Government will at no time enter into any such dishonourable bargains?

Mr. Lloyd

I have dealt with the Question on the Order Paper which asked whether any suggestion has been made. I do not think it right to expect me to deal with a hypothetical question.
