§ 3. Mr. Francis Noel-Bakerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what further steps he will now take to increase functional co-operation with European countries.
§ Mr. M. StewartFollowing the various visits which my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister and I have recently undertaken to European capitals, we are now considering, together with the European Governments concerned, the possibilities of practical collaboration in the fields of aircraft development and other advanced technologies. We would like to see this co-operation develop on as wide a basis as possible, both in regard to subjects and to country participation.
§ Mr. Noel-BakerWould this be a convenient moment for my right hon. Friend to say something about relations between E.F.T.A. and the Common Market?
§ Mr. StewartI think that that would arise more appropriately on a later Question.
