§ Q6. Mr. John Fraserasked the Prime Minister if he will now make an official visit to Yugoslavia to pursue discussions on European security.
§ The Prime MinisterThe Yugoslav Prime Minister and I had an opportunity to review East-West relations and European security during his visit to London from the 23rd to 26th February. I accepted an invitation from Mr. Ribicic to visit Yugoslavia, and we agreed to discuss dates later.
§ Mr. FraserCan the Prime Minister say whether the Prime Minister of Yugoslavia regards it as an advantage or a disadvantage to European security to have a neo-Fascist State on the Southern borders in Greece? Has my right hon. Friend made representations about this in view of the tie-up with N.A.T.O. during the Czechoslovakian crisis?
§ The Prime MinisterGreece was not discussed between the Yugoslav Prime Minister and me. My hon. Friend is, think, well aware of the action taken by Her Majesty's Government in the appropriate forum for these matters, which is the Council of Europe.
§ Sir A. V. HarveyA few weeks ago the Prime Minister said that he would certainly consider paying a visit to Malta. Does he not think that that should come before a visit to Yugoslavia in view of the great services which that small island has rendered to Britain?
§ The Prime MinisterI have received a large number of requests from hon. Members that I should visit a large number of countries—
§ Sir F. BennettAnd stay there.
§ The Prime MinisterWe have had that comment before. The hon. Member has not been here when we have heard it. I have had many interesting suggestions. I think the hon. Member for Macclesfield (Sir A. V. Harvey) was serious in his question, unlike the hon. Member for Torquay (Sir F. Bennett). This is a question of deciding priorities.
