HC Deb 06 June 1967 vol 747 cc787-8
Q7. Mr. Francis Noel-Baker

asked the Prime Minister when he will visit India.

The Prime Minister

I have at present no information to give the House.

Mr. Noel-Baker

When the present tension in the Middle East subsides, will my right hon. Friend consider an early visit to India where, as he knows, in the past there have been doubts and apprehensions about the attitude of Her Majesty's Government and, indeed, of my right hon. Friend towards relations between the United Kingdom and the Indian Government?

The Prime Minister

I am not aware what those doubts are. I have had, of course, fruitful discussions with the Prime Minister of India on her visit to this country, which was long after the kind of events my hon. Friend has in mind. I should very much like to go, but it is extremely difficult at this time to forecast the time and date when that will be possible.
