HL Deb 21 April 1955 vol 192 c491

3.5 p.m.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR (VISCOUNT KILMUIR)

My Lords, as your Lordships will be aware, the Tenth Anniversary of the re-establishment of the Austrian Republic is shortly to be celebrated in Vienna, and on April 27 a Joint Meeting of the Austrian Upper and Lower Houses will be held. I think it would be appropriate, if your Lordships agreed, that I should send on behalf of the House of Lords a message of good will to the Austrian Federal Council on that occasion. I understand that the Speaker has been invited to send a similar message on behalf of the House of Commons. If your Lordships approve, therefore, I will arrange that a suitable message be sent.
