§ 53. Mr. Eldon Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress has been achieved in creating closer relations with the states of the European Economic Community in the field of technological collaboration.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsA number of proposals to this end have been made, notably by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister. Progress is restricted by the fact that we cannot at present join the European Communities. Nevertheless we continue to pursue, with some success, those possibilities of closer cooperation which are open to us.
