HC Deb 02 February 1959 vol 599 cc27-8
46. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Prime Minister to what extent the speech by the Lord Privy Seal on foreign affairs, made at Leigh-on-Sea on 8th January, represents the policy of Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I have been asked to reply.

Completely, Sir.

Mr. Hughes

Would the Lord Privy Seal tell us what he meant by his reference to General de Gaulle?

Mr. Butler

I have the highest regard for General de Gaulle, and I tried to convey that impression in my remarks.

Mr. Grimond

Can the Leader of the House tell us if he has any information whether the Lord Privy Seal intends making a speech in Galloway, in view of what happened in this area after he had been there?

Mr. Butler

I have not been invited to Galloway, but I am always ready to consider any attractive invitations which I receive.
