32. Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, having regard to the declarations made by the leaders of the French and British Governments during the recent celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Entente Cordiale, what specific action it is proposed to take to improve the cultural, economic and defensive ties between the two countries.

Mr. Nutting

Although the closest ties already exist in the spheres mentioned between the United Kingdom and France, Her Majesty's Government would be ready to examine any specific suggestions which hon. Members may wish to put forward for improvements.
