asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what agreements have been concluded between this country and the European Coal and Steel Community as a result of discussions provided for under Articles 6, 7 and 8 of the Agreement concluded between this country and the European Coal and Steel Community; and whether he will make a statement.
