§ Q20. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Prime Minister whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT details of the dates when he has had discussions with the Prime Ministers of Australia, New Zealand and Canada, since June 1970; and on how many of these occasions he discussed immigration within the Commonwealth generally and the United Kingdom in particular.
§ The Prime MinisterI have had bilateral talks with the Prime Minister of Australia on 9th November, 1971; with the Prime Minister of New Zealand on 14th April, 1971; and with the Prime Minister of Canada on 16th December, 1970, 17th December, 1971, and 3rd and 4th December, 1972. Leaving aside my latest talks with Mr. Trudeau, the subject of immigration was not raised at any of these bilateral talks, nor was it on the agenda of the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' meeting from 14th to 22nd of January in Singapore.
During his visit last weekend, the Prime Minister of Canada told me that he had no complaint about the treatment of Canadians coming to Britain.
