§ Mr. HattersleyWe are in close and continuing touch with Commonwealth Governments on all matters of common interest. We therefore see no need for a special meeting, and no Commonwealth country has suggested that one should be held.
§ 38. Mr. Thorneasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he expects to present to the House an interim report on renegotiation of the British terms of membership of the Common Market.
