§ 18. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Minister of Defence if he will make a statement on his official conversation last week with Mr. Macnamara, the American Secretary for Defence.
§ Mr. J. AmeryI have been asked to reply.
There were no conversations last week. My right hon. Friend is having conversations this week with Mr. Macnamara as with other N.A.T.O. Defence Ministers. Their conversations are confidential.
§ Mr. HughesCan the Minister assure us that the Government will resist any proposals by Mr. Macnamara for increased expenditure by this country?
§ Mr. AmeryThat raises another issue. Perhaps the hon. Member would like to put down another Question about it.
