§ Q7. Mr. Skinnerasked the Prime Minister whether he has any plans to meet President Pompidou.
§ The Prime MinisterI have no plans to do so at present.
§ Mr. SkinnerWill my right hon. Friend give an assurance that when he or any of his ministerial colleagues meets President Pompidou or any of the President's friends in the near future, they will issue a reminder that a few concessions about such things as pig injections are no substitute for a complete renegotiation of the treaty and a referendum of the British people?
§ The Prime MinisterIt is not necessary to visit President Pompidou for one 276 to be able to recollect the statement by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, in the debate last Tuesday, on the intention of the Government fundamentally to renegotiate and to have a referendum by the British people. This has always been said.
