§ Q4. Mr. John Fraserasked the Prime Minister if he will invite Heads of Government to London at the time of the meeting in May of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe which marks the 20th anniversary of the Council.
§ The Prime MinisterI have no plans to do so, Sir.
§ Mr. FraserIn that case, can my right hon. Friend say what consultations he will be having with representatives of Council of Europe Governments about the recommendation of the Consultative Assembly that Greece should be suspended from membership? In the course of those consultations, will he confirm that N.A.T.O. defence considerations, which have nothing to do with the Council, will not influence Her Majesty's Government's decision?
§ The Prime MinisterThere was no final recommendation by the Council of Europe for immediate action by Governments. I think that it would be right to wait for the Human Rights Commission to pronounce on these issues, which it is examining carefully, before taking any view on the matter.
