asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make a statement on the conclusions reached at the South-East Asia Treaty Organisation Conference at Canberra.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

The third meeting of the Council of the South-East Asia Treaty Organisation was held in Canberra from 11th to 13th March. My right hon. and noble Friend the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations, who represented the United Kingdom, has reported that this was a successful meeting and was conducted in an atmosphere of great cordiality. As regards its conclusions, I am arranging for copies of the communiqué issued at the end of the meeting to be placed in the Library of the House.
