§ 21. Mr. Jegerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what changes are proposed in the principles governing membership of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydNone, Sir.
§ Mr. JegerMay we take it from the right hon. and learned Gentleman's Answer that there will be no modification of the six basic freedoms on which N.A.T.O. was founded—freedom of the Press; freedom of speech and assembly; free elections; freedom of movement; freedom of worship, and the right to strike and the right to work? Will the Foreign Secretary bear in mind that none of these applies in Spain? Will he give a guarantee to the House that he will not support any alteration of N.A.T.O. which would permit the entry of Spain?
§ Mr. LloydI will not express an opinion on part of the hon. Gentleman's supplementary question. He asked me what changes are proposed in the principles. My answer is that none is proposed.
