HC Deb 14 July 1966 vol 731 c1718
Q9. Mr. maker

asked the Prime Minister if he will make a statement about his recent discussions with the Prime Minister of Australia.

The Prime Minister

I would refer the hon. Member to the Answers I gave on 12th July to similar Questions.

Mr. Blaker

Will the right hon. Gentleman tell the House about a subject with which he did not then deal, and that is the Government's attitude towards negotiations for entering into the Common Market? Did he tell Mr. Holt that in those negotiations the British Government would insist on being free to buy food and raw materials in the cheapest market as we have done for a hundred years?

The Prime Minister

It is not usual, of course, to give an account of everything discussed between Commonwealth Prime Ministers, but I was certainly able to give Mr. Holt a full statement on the present position, and on the relations described by my right hon. Friend this afternoon between Britain and the Commonwealth in respect of any future negotiations with the Common Market.
