HC Deb 11 February 1964 vol 689 cc216-7
Q7. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Prime Minister how many advisers he is taking with him on his visit to the United States of America; and what are the subjects they advise on.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

I have been asked to reply. My right hon. Friend has available to him a wide range of information and advice.

Mr. Hughes

Is the Leader of the House aware that the last time a Prime Minister went to America he came back with a policy which meant very large commitments on behalf of the British taxpayer, such as the Polaris submarines? Is the Treasury well represented at this conference to see that this does not happen at this time?

Mr. Lloyd

That is not at all the supplementary question which I expected. I thought that the hon. Gentleman was going to refer to the occasion when my right hon. Friend the Member for Bromley (Mr. H. Macmillan) and I went to Moscow and the hon. Gentleman came as a camp follower.
