§ 18. Mr. Stonehouseasked the Lord Privy Seal if Her Majesty's Government will oppose the admission of Spain to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
§ Mr. HeathI have nothing to add to the replies I gave the House on this matter in answer to Questions on 11th April.
§ Mr. StonehouseWhat is the Government's position on this? Are they proposing to support the admission of Spain? Will the right hon. Gentleman give a guarantee that if they intend to do that, he will come to the House and give their reasons for supporting the application of a Fascist country to an alliance which is supposed to be in defence of freedom?
§ Mr. HeathIf the hon. Member will read the previous Answers on this subject, he will see that this matter is not before N.A.T.O.
