§ Q9. Mr. A. Hendersonasked the Prime Minister whether, following the conclusion of a nuclear test ban treaty, he will now make a statement on a possible meeting between President Kennedy, Mr. Khrushchev and himself, either at a formal summit conference or during the September meetings of the United Nations General Assembly.
§ The Prime MinisterI have nothing to add to what I told the House on 25th July.
§ Mr. HendersonIn the event of the forthcoming discussions in Moscow between the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Dean Rusk and Mr. Khrushchev being satisfactory, may we take it that the Prime Minister would hope that a meeting between the three heads of Government would be held in the near future?
§ The Prime MinisterOf course, I should hope that we would be able to advance along the line we have set ourselves, but again I think that it would be a mistake for me to make any statement until the treaty has been signed and ratified, which is an important process in the United States. From that stage we may advance to further discussion and talk.
