§ Q8. Mr. Liptonasked the Prime Minister whether the public speech of the Lord President of the Council in Glasgow on 16th February on the subject of relations between Great Britain and France represents the policy of Her Majesty's Government.
§ The Prime MinisterYes, Sir.
§ Mr. LiptonIn addition to endorsing the Lord President's abuse of General de Gaulle for bad faith and bad manners, may I ask whether the Prime Minister also agreed with the Lord President when he said that he was tired of seeing his colleagues kicked around by the Opposition? Is the Prime Minister tired, too?
§ The Prime MinisterI think that my noble Friend must have been referring to the activities of the Labour Party in another place.
Mr. H. WilsonWill the right hon. Gentleman arrange speedily for Parliamentary reform so that the noble Lord may come here to be kicked around as well?
§ The Prime MinisterIf my noble Friend were to avail himself of any legislation, should such legislation be carried, he would, I think, be a great addition to this House, just as so many of the right hon. Gentleman's friends have been willing to accept my nomination to the other House.
