§ Q5. Mr. Healeyasked the Prime Minister to what extent he has discussed with the Prime Minister of Canada the control of nuclear weapons inside the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
§ The Prime MinisterMy recent conversations with Mr. Lester Pearson covered a wide range of subjects on which we exchanged views. Such talks between Commonwealth Prime Ministers are of course confidential.
§ Mr. HealeyCan the Prime Minister at least tell the House whether the Prime Minister of Canada is proposing that his country should make a contribution to the inter-allied force which Her Majesty's Government are to propose at the forthcoming meeting of the N.A.T.O. Council in Ottawa?
§ The Prime MinisterI think that the Canadian Government, who are taking part in the meeting, will express their views then. It is not for me to express decisions on behalf of a Prime Minister who has been in office only a few days.
