HC Deb 20 June 1963 vol 679 c639
Q1. Mr. Driberg

asked the Prime Minister what communications he has recently received from the Greek Government regarding the proposed visit to Great Britain of the King and Queen of the Hellenes.

The Prime Minister (Mr. Harold Macmillan)

Any communications of this nature would be confidential.

Mr. Driberg

Can the Prime Minister at least say whether he has any information clarifying the present position as between the King of the Hellenes and his previous Prime Minister, lately resigned? Is it not rather unusual, in a democracy, for a constitutional monarch to reject the advice of his Prime Minister?

The Prime Minister

This is a matter for the Greek Government and constitution. We are simply waiting for our Greek allies to decide.
