§ Q11. Mr. Spriggsasked the Prime Minister if he will invite the Soviet Prime Minister to continue their previous discussions about the Vietnam war; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. George BrownI have been asked to reply.
As the House knows, we are in frequent contact with the Soviet Government on a wide range of world problems. I myself returned from discussions in Moscow on 26th May, during which I discussed the Vietnam problem and also invited Mr. Gromyko to visit this country: an invitation that I am glad to say he accepted. My right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister, has no plans to invite the Soviet Prime Minister to further discussions for the time being.
