HC Deb 30 May 1963 vol 678 cc1535-6
Ql. Mr. W. Hamilton

asked the Prime Minister what plans he has for an early meeting with President de Gaulle.

The Prime Minister (Mr. Harold Macmillan)

There are no plans for an early meeting between me and President de Gaulle.

Mr. Hamilton

Would the right hon. Gentleman agree that the time is now right to take some positive steps to renew our traditional friendship with France and to stop making these rather futile gestures of petulance which followed the breakdown of the Common Market negotiations?

The Prime Minister

. That is another question. Of course, I have had many meetings with President de Gaulle and hope to do so again.
